Save the Trees!!

We got slammed with snow on Friday night.  One of the trees that we had to fight the city to keep (chad tore up and removed sidewalk and dug down 6 inches to probe the roots weren't lifting the sidewalk) got a big boo-boo.  Tear tear, sniffle sniffle.
 
This was going to be our first lazy Saturday in MONTHS--we have more projects than time, but we were thrilled that we had nothing planned for this day.  Chad spent 8 hours in the freezing cold with his chainsaw and our fallen hero.  Good thing we have that "white trash" trailer parked on our street so he could take the branches to the dump (the trailer is our newest feud).

The kids loved the first snowfall.

Tree brances were down all over the city, but ours was one of the biggest I saw...sniffle sniffle.

Abby woke up at 3am so Chad opened the blinds to show her that it was still night time---this is what he saw.  He was smart enough not to tell me until morning.  "Do you want to hear the bad news?"...is not how I like starting my day.
