Snow Days

It is truly a winter wonderland here in Cumming this morning! We were all VERY happy to be home all together through this "winter storm"! I got home Monday afternoon a little early and Steven and the kids were already home! By Tuesday morning it was snowing like crazy! That round was so beautiful but the snow didn't last on the ground through the afternoon. Then on Wednesday the next round came through and by this morning we probably have over 5"! It's just beautiful (from the warmth and safety of our home! It is very peaceful sitting on the couch with my coffee watching it come down outside!)

It has really been great! The four of us have been here together playing and having fun! WE have gone back and forth between our house and the Reilly's (have I mentioned how fun it is to be around the corner from them?!) The kids all made Valentine's cookies over here and decorated them with white, light pink and hot pink icing (yep, Elizabeth and I made homemade icing! My first time ever!) We spent the whole day at their house yesterday sledding and playing. We didn't completely intend to stay the WHOLE day but we walked over there and the ice was coming down so hard through the afternoon we just couldn't walk home with the kids in that! We walked home around 9pm last night and it was so peaceful and beautiful!

Jack had SO much fun sledding! I couldnt believe how fast he was going and how brave he was. There was one crash into some trees! The kids have actually done pretty well and seem to be enjoying making up new games and playing. It has been nice to have Morgan and William to play with! We have made some fun memories and I am sure we will talk about being snowed in the winter of 2014. It's been pretty wild! I will definitely take some more pictures today! There is talk of a snowman?!

We spent my birthday weekend in Savannah! Steven and I went to an Oyster Roast with family while the kiddos got some fun time with Mimi and Aunt Neese! We spent some time walking around River Street and enjoying the weather! It was a fun trip with lots of good visiting!

Lucy went one time...she liked running around better :)

The snow was a little too hard to make snow angels!

Oh gracious!

Watch the trees!!!

Yikes!

It took a few tries to get up the hill!

This is the way to do a snow day!
