Snowcation!



We had a huge snow storm pretty early this year! After our first week back at school we woke up Saturday morning to between 6 - 8 inches of snow!


It was also super cold, but we bundled up and braved the weather to get some sledding in!



Layers are key. I always wear my running tights with a pair of soccer socks. Just one of their many uses :). 



Our first morning out in the snow one of our neighbors who does landscaping was already scrapping the roads for us. Simmer down now! We like not being able to go anywhere for a few days!


Here's Finley's snow angel. 



And proof how deep the snow was!


All weekend long we sledded, watched movies, played board games, and ate yummy warm foods. 


After all the traveling and hustle and bustle of the holidays it was nice to just stay home for the whole weekend. 


The bad news was that since it was so cold it took forever for the snow to melt! Even though it snowed Saturday morning, the kids were out of school for several days and didn't go back until Thursday! By that time we were going stir crazy and so ready to get back into our routine. Thursday and Friday ended up being gorgeous days with highs in the 60s and 70s. Yep. That's NC for ya! I am glad we had one good snow, but I am already looking forward to warmer weather and spring!
