Snow Day!


So the snow wasn't all bad. McKenna lasted for about 20 minutes and absolutely couldn't stand it anymore. It didn't help that the snow was still falling and was getting in her eyes.

Christian, on the other hand, lives for days like these. He spent almost four hours outside today. There is a big drainage ditch by our townhouse that is just perfect for sledding. A short steep hill to give you a little speed and thrill, but not a lot of work to climb back up. Ryan built a ramp on the hill about halfway down so Christian could fly up in the air. He had the time of his life! The last time we had a really good snow Christian was 2 and doesn't remember it, so this has been thrilling for him to have snow up to his knees.
This girl will have to try it again next year.

We had a pretty sad morning around here. We were supposed to go to my parent's house to see all the cousins for a Christmas party. My brother was already there and my wild sister decided to go anyway in all this snow (she made it, but now she's stuck there). But we decided not to risk the two hour drive in all this snow. Christian absolutely sobbed when I told him we weren't going. Thankfully we ended up having a good day. I took a nap. Christian loved the snow. Ryan did some grilling (a blizzard doesn't stop him). And McKenna just spent her day doing what she always does, playing with her babies and snuggling us! We were also supposed to pick up a truck tomorrow and start packing it. Now we can't get a truck and won't be able to begin loading one until sometime on Monday. It just sets us back a little and makes it harder to get things organized, but we'll get it done.

I hope you were enjoying the snow today if you're on the east coast! What were you up to today?

Well, i prayed a lot today as Paul had to travel in this to go to work, but he came home safe and sound. We played in the snow, shoveled 3x, baked a little, watched tv....folded clothes.....M only lasted about 10 minutes but Jake could have played for hours!

I'm glad you all enjoyed the snow, we live in the tiny corner of our state that didn't get any snow....gotta love 35 degrees and RAIN!

figures the year I move is the year that we finally get a decent snow!! Not much chance of a white Christmas here in South Carolina.

We're coming up to my parents for Christmas on Wednesday. Hopefully there will be some left!
