Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!


We have snow! It's the first snow of the season, and in fact the first real snow in several years. It started snowing this morning about 12:30-1am (of course I was up). It seemed so light though that I didn't think it would amount to anything. This morning, however, we have a real snowfall - probably 2-3inches. It's hardly the "Winter Snowstorm" drama the news wants to try to make it, but it's not bad for our area.

Not only did we get enough snow to speak of, it was well-timed. Ben stayed home today which was great since we were able to watch the Inauguration together. We also took the kids out to experience their first real snow.

Technically, it's not their "first"snow. While at my mom's last January, there was a snowfall sprinkle, but they were too young to really go out. So, we will consider January 20, 2009, Natalie and Abigail's first official snow day.


Enjoy the pics!

KitKat running for his life! He really hates the cold - I can't imagine what he thinks of snow!

Don't worry - this was probably our freak storm for the next 3 years. I'm sure it will be a balmy 60-65 degrees next week. Gotta love NC weather!

BTW - are you REALLY up for a week with the girls???? You do know that's the plan?

I can only imagine how organized Doy's kitchen would be if we let the girls "have at it" once we bring the loot home from the store.....on the other hand, think of all they might learn to do at the hands of their bossy Aunt Susie as she uses her teacher voice to direct them!!!
