Snowmaggedon 2014

Well we definitely got snow this time!  I feel like Charlotte never really gets snow when other parts of the state do....but not this time!!!  The snow fall started early Tuesday morning and continued until Thursday evening!  Tuesday night we decided to go to our neighbors house for a sleepover since we didn't want to go far from home and since Ryan had already closed down the office Wednesday.  We had a blast!

 watching the weather updates....
 4 kiddos in one tub....

 Holden reading the babies a bedtime story....
 PJ party:)
 Everyone slept great!
 Who wants to build a snow man?....Ellie does!



 Adam loved sledding!
 G wasn't into sledding, but loved having extra time with Daddy!
 Holly and I used a neighbors steep driveway to pull the kids down....Ellie absolutely loved it!
 Our family of four:)
 Our house covered in snow!
 We ended up losing power for a day and had to keep warm indoors.

 Good thing we have two real fire places....Ryan had fires going all day long.
 We have an old house with bad insulation so we had to keep out the cold as best we could.
Ryan wore fly fishing waders outside because we couldn't find our ski bin with all our water proof pants.  when he was trying them on Ellie wanted to be held.....this made me laugh!

We luckily got power on right when we were starting to get cold and before bed thank goodness!!!  The next day the roads were bad so we again stayed close to home.  We had a neighborhood playdate with homemade pizzas! Seriously love our neighbors!

 This pic sums up their opposite reactions to sledding....
 and the snow continued to fall.....
 warm bath with "snow" bubbles!



After a few days we were all stir crazy and ready for the snow to go away, but it was so pretty while it lasted!  There was so much that even though the temperatures were in the 50's it still didn't melt it all!  Graham was mesmerized by Ryan doing manual labor...haha jk!


 Ok enough snow for 2014....I am ready for spring!!!

  2. Aww! You have a very beautiful family. The photos you took look really great. Ellie looks so adorable! That towel on the bottom of your door looks so out of place, though. Haha! I think you should work on the insulation soon, so it doesn't mess with the family meetings. Plus, you won't have to worry about the cold as much if you do get it fixed. Anyway, I'm glad you had a wonderful time with your neighbors. Take care!
