Snowmageddon


SNOWMAGEDDON; An end of the world scenario caused by heavy amounts of snow in North Carolina, where everything shuts down until the earth decides to thaw out.


This is the biggest snow storm we have had in a decade! It snowed for two days straight. 



We got around 8 inches of snow! 


Finley wasn't use to his boots sinking down into the snow so much. 


We even had snow difts piled up around the edge of our house. 


David's office closed down for two days so we had a lot of fun (even though he still worked from home). We had some snow ball fights with the neighbors. 


Hiked a bit in the snow. Poor Finley got so worn out stomping around in his boots. We also made a few snow angels. 


And ate snow! Finley was a big fan of eating it right off of the ground. But we also made snow cream for the first time this year. It turned out really good! I think we might have to make that a new tradition. 


Of course we got in some good sledding too. 


Fin was even brave enough to go down by himself this time around. 


When we were all done sledding I kept telling Finley what a great job he did sledding by himself. 
He then proceeded to ask me what his reward was going to be for being so brave. 


Well after being cooped up in the house for three days straight, I can say we are all ready for the snow to melt and for spring to begin. We were all very grateful that we didn't lose power! Hope you survived the snowmageddon too!

Who knew Finley's winter gear for utah would come in so handy here at home? :)
