Snow Day!

Yesterday, after we got home from the Valentine's party, the snow started to fall while Katie Anne and I were eating lunch.  We opened all the blinds so we could see it, and we were very excited about it - it was so beautiful!  We were really crossing our fingers that it would stick and we'd be able to go out and play in it.  

Well - our wish came true! After Katie Anne's nap, we'd already gotten an inch or two of accumulation, and it would wind up being over 3 inches by the next morning!  So, we headed out into the snow before Daddy got home to play.  

Katie Anne absolutely LOVED it.  She had a blast running around, making snowballs and busting me with them, and building a snowman.  We played outside for more than an hour!

Getting dressed in her snow bibs.  :)  She was beyond excited at this point. 

Even her snow gear is UGA-themed!  

(Really, that was just coincidence.  They're hand-me-downs from our friend Sarah.)

While she was getting her boots on, she told me exactly how we'd build our snowman.

Tasting the snow!

Doing a happy dance

 

I love how our house looks in the snow

Abby is crazy about the snow - she ran around like a puppy outside

Snow dogs!

Working on our snowman

 

  

  

  

Waving at Ginger, who'd gone back inside to warm up

Making a snowball...

Sneaking over to Mommy...

 

And grinning after she'd busted me with it!  What a stinker!

What happened when I tried to strike back?  She ran away!

 

That's a lot of snow!

Showing off her "snow baby" - she rocked it, fed it snow, and put it to bed in a "snow crib" that she made on the front steps.

We had so much fun outside!

We came back in, changed into warmer clothes, and had a snack.  There's nothing like Valentine's cookies from Agan's Bakery and a big, frosty glass of milk to finish off a fun snowy afternoon!
