We were hit with a snow storm here in the South and the whole family has had a ball!
I am so thrilled that this all went down during Christmas break, so the kiddos could really enjoy every moment.
I forget how beautiful snow is... I am not a fan of the cold so I can usually do without the stuff, but what a beautiful mess, it was worth all the soggy mittens and boot tracks through the house for sure.
We had some mighty fine snowball fights in our back yard:)
Hopefully we will get at least one more snowfall this winter, as this one only lasted one day.
Is it okay to eat new fallen snow? 
all the kiddos were eating it like it was ice-cream? I didn't tell them to stop, but it kinda turned my stomach.. I grew up in South Florida so I have no idea about such things. Here's wishing you a White Christmas!!!!
Oh, Amy...
ReplyDeleteEating newly fallen snow is a MUST! It's the first thing Gracie showed Faith on our first snowfall after we brought Faith home! Here:

It's probably terrible for you or something, but...
See what I mean :)

Oh, it was beautiful -- your house (I assume that's your house in the 1st picture) looks like a postcard!
ReplyDeleteYou have had WAY more snow than we have had in Michigan this winter. We've gotten a total of 4 inches -- in 3 snowfalls! Punctuated by melting, of course. Our kids are so bummed that there is no snow for sledding, skiing, etc., let alone for making snow angels! Sure wish we'd get one of those beautiful snows!
Your new header is gorgeous, the family is gorgeous, the snow is gorgeous! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & blessings to your family for 2011!
Gorgeous pics!!!! My parents were stuck inside for several days with that snow!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a blessed and Merry Christmas!
I found your blog through someone else's blog post of a link to Ty's Gotcha Day video. I just had to let you know that you & your family are just simply an inspiration! I sat down & read through the entire blog in just a couple days - couldn't tear myself away. My family is in the process of adopting a boy from Shanghai (17 mths). Thank you for putting this out there & allowing others to peek into your family life.
