Let it snow!

WOW!! Last night we got snow! Real snow! I couldn't believe it was actually crunchy to walk on. I was thinking it would be more like slush here in Georgia, but it was real snow! The kids were so excited, to say the least. They were extremely disappointed that it didn't snow while we were in Illinois for Christmas. Well, the Lord definitely made it up to them.

Right after we got home from church, the kids bundled up and headed to the back yard for a good, old-fashioned snow-ball fight. We could hear kids all over the neighborhood out doing the same thing. Jon came out to check out the snow. He was as impressed as I was that it could REALLY snow in Georgia. We've been here over 3 years now and haven't seen anything like this.

Check out the accumulation on the deck...almost an inch.

Here's the table BEFORE the snow-ball fight...

And here's the table AFTER the snow-ball fight.

Poor Toby had fun running around for awhile, but he was ready to come in!

And of course, it wouldn't be complete without hot cocoa to warm up the kids after their fun in the snow.

Here's our backyard this morning...

And our tree in the front yard drooping from all the ice. It almost looks like it's bowing down. Made me think of this...

Psalm 96:9 Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.

Psalm 66:4 - 5 Everything on earth will worship You; they will sing Your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!
