Snow Day

February 10, 2011- We woke up to this amazing sight. Not something we see very often living in the south, so we have to enjoy it on those rare times we do get the "white stuff".






I was so excited to wake up and see snow covering the ground. Such a beautiful part of God's creation. So, of course, I had to grab my camera for some great photo ops!

The girls were grabbed out of bed and bundled up so we could all go out for a little play time before Audrey had to go to school.



This was Addison's first "real" snow. It snowed a few weeks before but it was so rainy at the same time that it all just turned to one big sheet of ice. Since we couldn't play in it then, I am considering this her first real snow.

She didn't mind it at all...until one of her gloves slipped off of her hand as she was crawling around in the snow. She wasn't a happy camper after that!




Audrey had a blast throwing snow in the air, slinging snowballs and helping her daddy create a mini-snowman.



Audrey was telling Addison, "Addison, now this is called snow. Can you say s-n-o-w?" So funny!



Then she felt the need to tell me what it was, too! Such a smart kid!



Here, Audrey was explaining to her daddy what all they needed to do to make the snowman.



They are getting the snow for the snowman.

Audrey and Corey showing off their final product! Such fun times!!

Snow Day!

March 1st and what do we see, tons of snow...ok, not tons but for those of us who have always lived in Alabama- it felt like tons. After a couple of days of warm spring-like weather, followed by nasty thunderstorms and tornadoes, we awakened to beatuiful, white snow. Audrey and I were down at my parents for the "event". We took AK out for a few mintues to see the snow.

At first she wasn't so sure about it, but I think she began to enjoy experiencing it. I loved seeing her reaction, the wonder in her eyes as she took in the site of the snow falling. Ahhh, what a refreshing feeling it is to see the world through the eyes of a child.

Since it was COLD, we only stayed out for a few minutes. Just long enough to snap some photos. Then we went back inside the toasty warm house. After we went inside, the snow fell more quickly and soon covered the ground even more than you see in the pictures. I could kick myself for being a whimp and not going back out to take more photos.
