Snow Days

The girls made it back to school for one day after the Christmas break when we got SNOW!!!!  Yes, one inch of snow fell here yesterday, so schools let out early yesterday and were closed today.  To our midwest and northern family and friends, don't laugh when you see the pictures - everything shut down here with just 1 inch on the ground!  Even Mike's office closed early yesterday (though of course he was on call, so he was stuck at the hospital all day anyways).  While Tyler napped, I was able to get the girls out for a little while yesterday afternoon.

Mike's day off was today (though his office was closed, again), so the girls were excited to play outside in the snow with him this morning.  They had a great time while Dad pushed them down the driveway in their own version of a sled.  Mike even donned his bright orange hat and shiny blue pants for the occasion (hmm, aren't those Auburn colors when Bama just won the national championship last night).

Soon thereafter, the ramp came out for even more fun!

Then our neighbors came outside and enjoyed the fun with us!

Grace seems to be enjoying the snow here, but she did not last too long outside today!

Claire, on the other hand, did not mind the cold weather and was disappointed when Mom and Dad decided it was too cold to stay out any longer. 

Since it's not supposed to get above freezing this weekend, the snow will be sticking around for a few days.  So I'm sure we'll be out again and enjoying the snow while it lasts.
