It's a well known fact among my circles that I love snow. Most folks call me nuts and I'm ok with that. I've loved it since I was a small child growing up in northern Indiana. Even now it all seems so magical.
This past December was unseasonably warm and I desperately wanted to share some snow play with my littles. We've gone through January with a couple of dustings...that was until Friday. As predicted, winter storm Jonas hit our part of central Virginia. We were stocked up with food and wood for the woodstove. We were ready to be homebound for a few days.
As I mentioned, the snow began Friday. School had been canceled in anticipation of the storm. It was the perfect opportunity to make homemade hot chocolate and play in the fresh falling snow.
It came down so quickly. We were gaining 1-2 inches an hour.
My little lady did not want to come in but the increasing winds eventually forced us inside.
Saturday was spent inside. The wind and snow were fierce.
Sunday was much nicer. Our roads were not safe so we stayed home from church. My hubby had gone into the fire department on Saturday night so it was just me and the kids. The sunshine was such a welcome sight so we took full advantage of it.
N's first snow
G built her first snowman (she added hair).
She also had her first sled ride.
Overall it has been a blast. I wouldn't trade these moments for anything.
Stopping by from the linkup! Cute pictures!
