Snow Days are the best days!

I love that in North Carolina you get to experience all 4 seasons.  I look forward to snow every year and since it is rare, I feel like we really soak it in!  The kids and I woke up last Wednesday to no snow after school had already been canceled. I had been stalking the weather channel and crossing my fingers and sure enough during breakfast it started....and didn't stop all day!

 Luckily we already had all the snow gear after skiing a few weeks ago.  The kids love sleding down the small hill on our street.

 We made lots and lots of snow angels in the fresh powder.

 Bobo even made a "snowbot"

 After dinner we made snow cream.  I have never made this, but was looking forward to trying it!

 Snow cream is so easy so I let the kids make it.  Recipe: 1 bowl of snow, 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  Mix and eat!

 I will admit it was pretty tasty!!! Don't you love their crazy hat hair too?

 The next day Ryan had to work, but made us steak and eggs first:)  And yes that is blue cheese on top of their steak.  It was a little early for me, but they insisted.

 The sunrise over the frozen pond was so beautiful.   We all kept trying to get a picture, but it was so much better in person.  There are moments after living in our house for two years when I get used to the view and take it for granted, and there are moments like this when I truly see the beauty all over again.

 Round 4 of sledding included some of our friends close enough to walk!

These four had a great time playing before all the snow melted the next morning.  That is North Carolina for you....20 degrees one day and 60 the next!
