Snow!!!!!

Well, we finally received some decent snow a few weeks ago.  We always seem to miss out when the forecasters predict snow for our area...it either goes to the north or east of us.  Yes, we have received a little snow this year, but I hardly call 1.5 inches much to get excited about.

I have to say this snow was perfect.  First it happened on a Saturday, so it didn't affect school nor did it hinder most people from going to work.  Even Lee was able to make it in with only about 30 additional minutes to the commute.  Second, it was really, really wet!  And third, most of it melted on Sunday afternoon.

All three of our children had a blast playing in it!  The boys were so excited an couldn't wait to get outside to play in it.

These were taken while it was still snowing.  We had only received about an inch and a half at this point.  It still didn't stop them from building a snowman.  He was a little dirty, but they didn't mind!  Even Heather and Andy joined in the fun!

It snow most of the afternoon on Saturday and then during a good part of the night.  On Sunday morning, we woke up to 5 inches!  It was really cold, but that didn't stop the boys from wanting to get out in it as early as possible.  I think they started asking me if they could go out around 8 am.  Finally around 10 am, they were dressed and out the door!

I will finish off this post with a few photos of Heather and Andy.  They probably had more fun throwing snow than the boys did!  Yes, we all really enjoyed our brief snow!!
