It REALLY Snowed!!!!!

First of all, Thank You to Grandma Helen and Grandpa Bun for the beautiful flowers they sent for Brooke and Olivia. The arrangements were beautiful and the girls were thrilled!!

The weathermen said it was going to snow today. At first they said we'd get a dusting, with heavier snow south of Atanta. Then they said we might get a little more. Usually they are wrong, so I ignored them. Here's how much I figured we'd get.

So I was pretty surprised when it got like this...

But ultimately it got to this! And it was still coming down!

After Olivia got home, the girls went out to play in the snow. We found out it was the PERFECT packing snow for snowballs and snowmen!

We made a snowman down by the mailbox, but he isn't done yet so we'll get a pic of him tomorrow.

Shortly after this, Olivia decided she was cold and went from a happy child to a sobbing child in the span of about 30 seconds. So we went in, warmed up, had some hot chocolate and got into some warmer clothes. Then we hit the slopes!!

We have the best yard in the neighborhood for sliding! What a fun way to end the week!!

Being a yankee and having a steep driveway, I just had to shovel. We had enough trouble getting out of the driveway last time it snowed and I was going to get as much snow out of the way as possible. Of course, it will freeze tonight and we'll all be stuck in tomorrow anyway.

Here are the bushes in the backyard. Pretty good for a 4 hour snowfall!
