Snow Happy!!!

Well, it happened!  We finally got some good snow last night.  We couldn't be more thrilled.  This is the first bigger snow that Sawyer was able to enjoy.  The sad part is that Jackson isn't here to enjoy the sledding and snowman making with us.  He left for Virginia on Monday to go skiing with the Edwards family.  The silver lining is that he is enjoying lots of outdoor winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.  We miss him, nonetheless.  Today would've been perfect had he been here with us.  Snow days are like sick days minus the sickness.  I feel like we are blessed with a gift when we get snow in this part of NC.

We made a small snowman today. Yep, tiny Frosty had to do because the snow just was too fine to pack this morning. I worked for thirty minutes trying to roll snow and even resorted to packing it into a grocery bag but with little success.  We did lots and lots of sledding.  We went out early and came in long enough for all of us to get short naps.  We headed back out and played until after dark.  The sledding was even better this evening after some melting and refreezing.  We are excited about heading back out in the morning.  Tiny Frosty will disappear by the weekend when temperatures are expected to be in the 60's.  North Carolina weather is the best!  Enjoy the snow y'all!
