It iced

We had a great big ice storm yesterday and it was very noisy. We'd hear a pop pop noise and then a big crash. Mommy said it was trees falling because there was too much ice and they'd get heavy and fall. After a while, I started saying "there goes another one" when we'd hear the pop and crash. Our yard is a big mess and Daddy's car got a little smooshed by part of our tree. Our trees ate part of our fence, part of our neighbor's fence and very possibly part of our roof. Several large branches fell on the roof and that was really scary but so far, we haven't seen any holes. We have maybe 1 tree out of lots that will survive. Amazingly, my tree swing is still standing. The happy news is this: we are safe and warm. We didn't lose power even though lots of our friends did and still don't have power. My friend Bella came over to play last night for a while to keep warm and we got to eat cookies and hot chocolate. Here are some pictures of our house and me playing with Daddy last night
