Our Snow Day!

So living in North Carolina means we do NOT get a lot of snow so we celebrate when we can scrape up a few inches. Yes, it is frustrating when you live in a place where NO ONE can drive in the snow and ice, but we still LOVE snow! And it is even better when the gorgeous white stuff comes on a day like today when we can just sit at home and enjoy it.

Well, actually, we didn't sit at home all day. We ventured out (not very far, mind you) to get some lunch at the local McAlister's Deli and then to visit my brother's family so the kids could all play together. These times are so precious now because we are all so busy. We love when our kids can get together, and the kids just go CRAZY when they see one another.

Here are some pictures of our winter fun:


Evan gets his first peek out the window at his very own winter wonderland!

So cute playing in his winter wonderland!



Our beautiful snow baby!



Snowballs were difficult to make, but he had to throw snow!



Our family shot was not quite a success...Evan was not happy! Hey, there's always tomorrow!



Hot chocolate to thaw him and his temper out! :o)



Evan gets ready to ride his "sled" down the driveway!

So pretty posing for Uncle Eddie. He can always get the best pictures of the kids!



Baby Reade loved his first snow experience!



I "heart" my adorable nephew!



He looked like a Teletubby again!



Just a sweet picture of Reade with his Daddy!



Every time we turned around, Re-Re was on his back on the ice! He was all smiles though!

Evan runs across the ice. Thank goodness he didn't bust his little booty!



Another pretty shot of sweet Emma!



Emma and Evan slidin' together!




Our crowning achievement...getting all the kiddies together for a picture! Wow, this just keeps getting more and more difficult, but I refuse to fail!



And this is our tired boy after a long day of playing in the snow and no nap!



Evan plays peek-a-boo in the snow!



So happy for snow!



Looks like he's going squirrel huntin'!



"Yep, I tree'd me a coon!" :o)



"We're havin' meat tonight, boys!"
