Let it snow!

We made it to Vermont! We had a smooth ride up from NJ and got here around 4pm. The P was great in the car. I brought a couple new toys, a notebook to color in, and some stickers for her. She kept herself entertained for most of the ride and took her normal after lunch nap in the carseat. We hit some intermittent patches of snow once we got into VT, which was so perfect. It wasn't enough to impact the drive, but it made us even more excited. It has been snowing off and on like that ever since we got here. Unfortunately, we have had a hard time letting the family know we are safe and sound since our cell phones don't have service at The Sugarhouse. The house is amazing! I'm not sure if I have ever used this adjective before, but it is idyllic. Seriously! There is about two feet of snow outside, and the house is so nice and cozy. It is very quaint with exposed beams and bluestone floors, but the floors are heated and we have wireless internet, Sirius radio, and satellite TV. What more could you ask for?! Once we settled in, we all got dressed in our snowsuits and headed outside to explore. We pulled The P around in a sled and took turns sledding with her down the hill. Unfortunately the camera battery was acting up, so I didn't get any pictures of her in the snow :( The P definitely had a great time. The snow is still new to her, but I think she likes it. It is nice dry snow, but unfortunately it doesn't make good snowballs or snowmen. After we fed The P and put her to bed, Adam built a fire in the wood stove. (He's so proud!)
The one drawback is that we aren't really sure what there is to do around here. We are kind of in the middle of nowhere. We'll keep you posted!
