Well by Alabama standards it was a blizzard. It snowed all day. Beautiful fluffy white flakes and heavy at times. I thought when I left Maryland I would never see them again! But we had close to 4 inches and the state went wild. Everybody, every age, made snowmen and went sledding on everything imaginable…(you have to get creative in a state that rarely sees the white stuff). You do appreciate it more when you rarely get it. We even have a little left outside right now, 3 days later!
We started the day digging out our snow gear and then I realized I gave mine away….it was almost 15 years old and had seen better days. I had to wear Preston’s old coat! Dennis and I were the first ones out. I made the date in the snow, and we started making a snowman. The snow was PERFECT…easiest snowmen I have ever made. Then the kids came out and we started the snow ball fights! A friend came over with sleds and the “boys” started sledding in the slope-y yards. Later we went over to my parent’s house to build more snowmen, sled, ride 4 wheelers and look for letters in the trees (Thanks Jen!) I found all the letters of my last name and my parents last name and will have to figure out a way to frame them nicely. It was fun and rather addicting. As we were eating later, Grant and Ryan both said, “Hey Mom, there’s an O” and a “V”. We had a great day in the snow.
