We got snow!!!...and ice...but WE GOT SNOW! and it wasn't just a LITTLE BIT of snow but over 4 INCHES! That's a lot for us. A LOT let me tell you. We were all pleased as punch going to sleep last night knowing that we would wake up to the white stuff on the ground. It was already there yesterday but it just kept on snowing and was STILL snowing as we tucked ourselves in for some sleep. It was sleeting too but that wasn't the exciting part...we didn't care if the roads iced over. We wanted the
snoooowww.
Snowflakes falling....
Starting the day with some java...
The ice did a number on the trees during the night....
...lost some limbs...
This is the back of our house...
Comet was not real sure WHY his feet weren't sinking like they did yesterday.
He came back in the house.
Is this a deer track? Ben said this looks like a ghost.

We thought Ian would have to go to work but we found out he didn't
because of the weather. We decided to go out anyway. A little risky but
I DID drive my trusty JEEP AND I GOT TO DRIVE IT IN 4WD!
I was sooooooo happy!
This is a hill next to our church. When we got here there were already a
BUNCH of people here and more kept coming.
You can probably tell by the pictures that I was no where NEAR them...
I was in the warm jeep...with Ian...taking pictures from 'afar'. :O)

Ben decides to try it again....and again...and again..
Owen
Ben's legs were so funny..always sticking out and his feet up...
I love a man that's not afraid to look corny! hahaha
THIS was precious! This little girl was sledding in a clothes basket
and she had a football helmet on!!
Woops! Better move out of Owen's way!
Wonder how many times this makes for Ben?
There were all KINDS of sleds out there...clothes baskets,
garbage can tops, and this cute little shark.
Cold...
Coooollldddd....
and CUTE!
This guy made a scene without knowing it.
HE BROUGHT A KAYAK or something.
Owen wiped out...
The guy with the kayak about go down the tallest hill.
That was cool.
Before we went home we went to
Cracker Barrel for PANCAKES.
YUUUMMMMYYY!
Back in the neighborhood...
and back at the house...
A little hot chocolate with some marshmallow
fluff mixed in to warm us up.
View from the dining room window.
I think we're heading back to the church in a bit to do some more sledding.
Well, Ben, Ian, Seth(a friend of Ians) and Jacob are going. Owen and I
might have another cup of hot chocolate in front of the fireplace.
Now THIS ends a perfect family day.
Hope you've had the perfect day too...where ever you are.
Tracie
Wearing the same thing he left in...the rest of his clothes were dirty at least so I know he didn't wear this for all three days! AND he brought home 3 clean pair of underwear. This means he only changed his undies once! Ugh. Why does camp bring out the animal in boys! hahaha
