Snow Jam 2011

I know it has been awhile but the whole family has been snowed in together all week.  We have been very busy playing in the snow, watching movies, eating, drinking hot chocolate, playing with our new toys, watching the latest weather reports, looking out our windows in amazement and relaxing.  The snow was predicted to start Sunday night.  I joined the rest of the town stocking up on supplies Saturday.  It was a little exciting standing in those long lines at the grocery store with the rest of the town.  Bobby even came home from church Sunday and cut down a dead tree in our yard and split it for firewood.  I was starting to wonder if it would ever come Sunday night.  The phone rang every few minutes with family or friends asking if we had snow.  I had just walked to the door to check about 20 minutes earlier when someone called to check.  Bobby walked in and looked out the front.  He started yelling.  I, of course, thought he was making it up.  In about 20 minutes time it has snowed enough to cover our entire yard and drive.  It was beautiful. It snowed all night long and we ended up with about 6-7 inches.  We got Abby up long enough to look out the window Sunday night but she didn't even remember the next day.  Everyone was so excited.  As soon as we had breakfast we bundled up in many layers and went out to play.  We played for about an hour and a half.  After lunch and a long nap for the boys we went back out for at least another hour.  Bobby had charged the battery on his 4-wheeler so we enjoyed the snow like all good red-necks.  The kids loved it and had a blast.  By this time it has started to turn to ice and our drive was very slick so we didn't make it out any more the next day to play.  It is unbelievable that we have had two rounds of snow in just a few weeks.  I love it and I get more excited than the kids.  I remember listening to the radio for the announcement of no school when I was little.  What excitement!!!!
