Snow Days!

We have been having so much fun with the snow that came through town yesterday! It started about 3:00 Friday afternoon. It was so pretty to watch as it came down. It came quickly and starting sticking immediately. Ryan and I left the office about 5:30, and even though we took main roads home, we slid a couple of times. We had a difficult time getting up our driveway too, but we made it safe and sound. Once we got home, Liz, Ryan and I got the girls dressed appropriately, and we all headed outside. Let the fun begin!

Our family ready to start playing.

A little snowman made by Bama. Lily loved it.
Mia loved the snow! She immediately wanted down and wanted to walk everywhere. She didn't mind if she slipped and fell; she was just having fun.

Lily loved it too! We were a little surprised given how she was so hesitant in Tennessee at Christmas, but she wanted to run out into it from the start. She was so excited to show us the snow as soon as we got home, and she and Bama had been making and drawing snowflakes. It was great to see her having so much fun!

We had a fun little snowball fight on the playground. Here's Liz getting a good one at Ryan.

On Saturday morning, we all got ready to go out first thing. Unfortunately a few minutes into playing, Mia fell down face first into the snow. Here's a picture of that result...she wasn't happy. From this point on, she wasn't very interested in playing in the snow.

Bama knew how to make Mia feel warm and better. She is so good with the girls.

Looking through some of the trees. Saturday was a beautiful day!

Some of our backyard trees. The blue sky looked great against the white snow.

Lily wanted her sunglasses for a few minutes; we thought it was pretty cute.

Liz and Mia watched the playground action from the window after Mia fell down.

Lily and I had our own little snowball fight on Saturday afternoon.
