Snow! Lots of Snow in North Carolina!

 We have lovely beautiful snow!!! It snowed last night so we didn't get to fully enjoy it coming down--but what we saw we loved!

 Yes, in case you were wondering that really is 7.5 inches of snow in ONE storm!! Apparently areas near Henderson got close to 9 inches but south of us got much less. We are so happy we got so much wonderful snow!

 We built a really big snow man! We decided that it was a "Daddy" snowman and Seth put his fire hat on it. He also tried to give it his gloves but I convinced him to wear them himself.
 We are loving the snow!
 Then of course since we had a "Daddy" snowman--we had to have a "Mommy" one as well!

 Getting another big ball ready for the "Mommy". Once we got that done--Lily wanted a Lily snowman. Then Madeline wanted one and it snowballed :) into a snow family!

The decoration got a little less fancy as we went but the kids were all so excited to have a snowman that represents them!
Here is Madeline with the "Madeline" snowman that she helped to decorate!
 Lots of snow on our cars too! Luckily Justin's work is cancelled today so he doesn't have to try to leave. Since it is melting slightly on the bottom and it's easier to clear snow than ice, we cleaned off the van in case he has to go in tomorrow.



 So much snow you can't read the license plate!
We are so excited that we have so much snow to play in and enjoy! And we are also very grateful that though our power has flickered more times than we can count--we still have power (and heat and water)!
