Basketball & Snow

Last night, we went to the Timberwolves game with Heather, Jim and Sheena. Our friend Amara was performing a Zumba dance at half time so we went to support her. Jim's dad's company is a sponsor so we got free tickets on row 4!! They were SUPER good seats! It was such a fun experience to get to watch the game that close! We were basically directly across the court from where the Timberwolves sat! Free throw time for the Pistons



Today we had a massive snow storm/blizzard come through. It started snowing on the way home from the basketball game last night and just stopped snowing around 6pm tonight! The National Weather Service says that our city got 15.2 inches!! It's the most snow in one storm in 19 years! Luckily we went to the store last night and got stuff to make a big pot of yummy chili for dinner! The tricky part about the storm is that it's been super windy all day - wind gusts of 30-35mph! So the snow drifts have been insane! The wind blew all the snow on our back deck - poor Michael is still trying to figure out how he is going to shovel that off one day! ;)

The top of our driveway was totally bare. See the orange pole to the left of Michael? (That helps the plows know where our driveway is.) All the snow was blown to the end of our driveway near the street. The orange pole at the end of our driveway was almost covered except an inch or two at the top that was showing!

Enjoying some baby kicks on a snowy day! :)

Snowed in! This is the snow blown up against our back door!

LOVE that picture of you on the couch. That baby boy is loved so much already, it totally shows! And what fun that you guys got to go to the basketball game with such great seats. Fun night, huh! And the snow storm, well, let's just say it's a good thing baby boy won't be born in the winter since you guys are having such a cold one! Stay warm! Love you!
