Is that...SNOW?

I like everyone else in the city of Birmingham, Alabama laughed at the thought of snow this past weekend! Yeah, right I told Brian I will believe it when I see it falling! Well Sunday morning we woke up to the flakes falling down and falling hard! The weather people forecast 2-4 inches in our area and I think we got it all! Christian was so excited because he had just played in the snow up in Indianapolis at my sister's house! The first thing that he said was "snow, snow...it's cold!" Then he went running to tell his daddy what was going on outside. It took awhile to coax him to go outside and play in the snow. He is not dumb and had remembered how cold it was up in Indy! However, up in Indy it was a blistering 4 degrees without the windchill! Here in Birmingham it was 30 degrees and was not to bad to be out playing in! We suited Christian up in lots of clothes and put on his rain boots! What can I say, we do not own snow boots down here! We played in the backyard and threw snowballs which the dogs loved going after. They all tried eating the snow and did not think it tasted to much like anything! It did make for cute pictures.

We played on the swing set and Christian went down the slide FULL of snow! He thought it was so fun that he made Brian go down too! It was fun to watch them running around in it. I wish sometimes that we got an annual snow just because it would be a blast tp play in for a short time. When Henley woke up from her nap we decided to take the golf cart and check out the neighborhood! Everyone was out and building snowmen and sledding on the hills! We joined them of course and had a great time. It was quite chilly driving around so when we got back to the house we had hot chocolate( a favorite of Christian and I!) It was a wonderful time and by the afternoon you never would have know we had a couple of inches of snow!
