Winter Wonderland

This last weekend we had the first real snow of the year around here.  We were all surprised as snow was in the forecast but it was not supposed to stick...but stick it did!  And, it was the BEST kind of snow to have snowball fights and build snowmen!







Katey was spending the night with a friend, but Seth and Mike and I all went out to play (even Belle joined us for a bit and she LOVED the snow...but got pretty cold pretty quick as she has just had a fur-cut recently).  Seth immediately worked on making the biggest snowball possible to throw at his parents.  Several times he would pick up the giant ball, get ready to throw, and we would laugh as the snowball exploded all over him.  The true mark of a Southern boy - he didn't know to pack that snow well!

Seth and Mike even build a little snow fort - but apparently Seth destroyed it before I could get a picture.  I headed in long before Seth - we had to make him come back inside long after dark.  Sure is fun to play in the snow! 

The best part about this winter precipitation?  We had about 2 inches come down on Saturday evening and by Sunday around lunch time it was almost all melted!  But, it sure was beautiful and a lot of fun while it lasted!
