Snowmageddon January 2011

We've been out of school since Sunday. We found out Sunday night that we would not be having school on Monday. Monday morning we woke up to 5 inches of snow on the ground. It was an awesome snowfall for a Tennessee winter. The kids were so excited to see all that snow on the ground and being able to play in it was that much better.
Elizabeth had a whole lot of fun walking through the snow covered trees. Just look at that grin on her face.




Abby had a lot of fun sledding down the hill. I loved seeing the look of pure joy on her face.
Gabe had an awesome time sledding with a neighborhood friend.

Matt, Abby and I made a snowman together.




Elizabeth and Abby enjoyed helping Daddy shovel off the driveway. I was counting my lucky stars that we had lived in Indiana where it snows. We had the snow shovel and sleds that most people down here don't have. It was nice having everything and not having to search the stores for the few items they do stock. If only more places carried the snow pants and bibs.

Abby and Elizabeth were willing to pose for a few pictures for their Mama.


We've had fun in the snow. But at this point the kids and I are going a little stir crazy. We are going on our 4th snow day and I think we are all ready for school to start back. I wouldn't mind another snow storm this winter but I am ready for this one to be one of the past.

I love your title!
We've only had 2 snow days and we were going nuts! Aubrey asked me at drop-off this morning how we survived 2 snow days and I told her that if we had another today I was going to have to take drastic measures!
Here's hoping your kiddos get to go to school tomorrow!

Looks like you guys are having fun down there in Tennessee. The girls looks adorable and I can't believe how much Gabe has changed. He has grown into such a young man all of a sudden.
