More snow!

We had more snow yesterday! It started around 10:30 in the morning and snowed most of the day. So I hopped in the shower and we ran to get some groceries (just in case we were iced in today) and hurried home to play in it. The kids had much more fun playing in the daylight this time. Instead of a snow-ball fight, this time they wanted to make snowmen.

They each started rolling the snow and it didn't take long before the first snowman was built.

Jacob didn't like the looks of dirt and leaves in the snowmen, so he used the snow off of the trampoline to build his...can you say PERFECTIONIST?!

Check it out...almost an inch and a half. By the time it quit snowing, I bet it was almost 2 inches!

Here they are working on one BIG snowman. They had been outside almost two hours at this point...

Jacob and Abbi finally went in because they were so cold. But little Caleb stuck it out and finished the snowman.

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!
