FIRST Snowfall!!!!

This was a really big deal for us. This was the first time our kids have ever woken up to look out the window and see the ground covered in snow! It was the perfect ending to our trip to Blue Ridge over Christmas break! It snowed three inched over night and was absolutely beautiful when we woke up! Scott didn't sleep well .. he was afraid it would be gone over night! I laughed .. it was 23 degrees ... it wasn't going anywhere! The look of shock was priceless on Erica's face ... Spencer was more concerned that it snowed in his Crocs .... and yes, it was 8:30am and they were already outside in it! Snowballs, icicles, snow angels and sliding was enjoyed by all, except me. I knew better than to go out there in that kind of whether! I can double up the clothes and keep time on how long they can stay outside! After about 20 minutes, they were ready to come in! It was so much fun. We even ventured out in it to run some errands and see if it snowed everywhere! Chip wasn't real sure what to do with the white stuff. He had just figured out how to go to the bathroom on rocks ... take away his grass, take away his mulch, now take away his rocks and now you give me this cold, white stuff? Are you serious????!!!!! It took him a while ..... boy was he glad to be home!!!

We left the next morning. We packed the car and it was 5 degrees! Oh, it was SOOOO cold!!!! But it was SOOOOO much fun!!!! Our car was covered in salt! And so were all the other cars driving home!! It took a full car wash to clean it up!!! What a mess :)
