Snow?? Real Snow??

Yep, we finally had some snow!  It's been way too long since we've had snow.  Garner is 2 and this was his first snow.  The beautiful part of this snow is that it started around lunch time so we were able to watch it fall which is always my favorite part.  Not knowing how quickly it was going to stick to the roads, I went to check Raleigh out of school a little early...partially for safety and selfishly so we could play.  Garner had some sort of sickness, but we didn't let that stop us.  He was all bundled up and we went out for a few minutes to snap some pictures and enjoy the snowfall.  Raleigh wanted to eat the snow and tried several different ways.  Then she made a snowball to throw at Garner.  As soon as Garner saw her throwing snow, he had to try.  Raleigh was able to make a ball for him and he loved throwing it.  Of course Garner didn't want to come inside and I had to drag him in.  :)

This is what happens when you get sick on your clothes at Grandma's

 While Garner was napping I took Raleigh back out to play a little.  The snow was just too powdery to build a snowman.  She did make a great snow angel though!

Jason had the day off on Wednesday and we went out to play for a little bit.  Garner loved it, but didn't like the cold on his hands and cried when we put gloves on him.  Raleigh was still bummed that she couldn't build a snowman and we didn't have a hill large enough to try to sled on.  I was sad too because I know she would love sledding.  Oh well...one day maybe we'll be able to do it all.  She still had fun and it was so cold out that I don't think she minded coming in.  :)
