SNOW DAY!!!

What an awesome, beautiful day. We had snow today. REAL snow. Most of us stayed home and let the kids play in it. I would guess that we probably had about 4 inches that actually stayed on the ground and is still there today (or it was when I left the house). I don't remember it ever snowing like this here. It was beautiful. I am glad we don't get this every year, but every once in a while would be nice. The kids and the adults all had a ball yesterday. We all got to moma's house about 7:30 am to start playing. The kids and grandpa immediately went outside to build a snowman. Grandpa said it was the first snowman he had ever built before. It was UGLY!! He was in a real rush to get it done though. I guess none of really knew how long the snow was going to last for. Krissy had to go home about 9 to get snowsuits for all of the kids. It snowed steadily until about 11:30am and then started raining a little about 2:30pm. It was cloudy outside so most of the pictures are a little dark but we had a ball. All of the kids rode the knee board behind the four-wheeler. Some of them even rode the intertube. We had so much fun. Hailey built snowmen all day long. She was only getting better and better at it. She was doing great at making giant balls. Elena ate snow all day. She didn't eat any lunch and hardly any dinner but it was probably because she was full of ice. None of them wanted to stop playing. They all wanted to keep playing. Even Landon looked like he enjoyed himself. He loved watching the snow but he would get really cranky when he got in it. The snow kept falling on his face and it was making him angry. We dressed him up in his new camoflauge snow suit that Aunt Trina bought for him. I didn't think he would have a chance to use it, but two days later, it is snowing. Go figure. Barrett missed the whole day. He had to work and by the time he came home, we were all pooped out and ready for a nap. By the time we woke up from nap, it was almost dark so we didn't get to play again. Anyway, it was a great day. One we will probably not experience in this area for another 20 years. Here are some pictures of all of us enjoying our experience.
