I have never seen so much snow in my life!! We were snowed in for two days, and Mark is just now finding his car. I don't know the exact number, but we probably got about 18-20 inches of snow. We ALL have had fun playing in the snow. We even had a snow ball fight, girls vs. boys.
In honor of the falling snow on Saturday, we started our day off with snowman pancakes.
We went out on Saturday while it was still snowing, but Jackson wasn't a big fan. So he sat on the steps and watched daddy shovel snow.
Sunday morning we woke up to this:
Can you find Mark's car?? And the backyard looked like this:
Look at the snow on our patio table! Since it finally stopped snowing, Jackson (and Daddy) were ready to head outside. We basically spent the entire day outside playing except to duck inside for a quick lunch, some hot chocolate, and defrosting our toes!
Jackson decided to get his sand toys out to help daddy shovel snow.
Then he decided to make "snow" castles to line our sidewalk instead.
Next on the agenda - sledding. It took some convincing, but then he was hooked.
Jackson and Mommy challenged Alli and Vaughn to a race. What you can't hear in this picture is Jackson yelling, "faster mommy, faster!" Why did I convince him sledding was fun?
And finally, it was snowman making time. After a couple of how to lessons from our northern neighbors, we got the hang of it. Well at least Mark did anyway. Not too bad for southerners!
Daddy and Jackson posing with their masterpiece.
Goofy the Snowman - Jackson named him.
Now that we have had a fun snow and Christmas is almost here, I am ready for it to start getting warmer. It might just be a very long winter!

That was a huge amount of snow! It looks like you made the best of it, but I hope it is gone by Christmas Day when you fly to Mississippi! Love, Emmy
Love to "LOOK AT" the snow, but we really do not miss it. That is a lot of shoveling and melting. Goofy is quite a handsome snowman. It sounds like you all made the most of your big snow storm and had a blast. See you all at Christmas. Love, DeeDee and PaPa
