Snow is bitter cold!

Late Friday evening, a storm moved in to create another winter wonderland in our yard....

I am not sure of the final snow count, because we measured after the storm had stopped, with a reading of 9.5 inches.

For the first time in my life, I made(and ate) Snow Creme -- which is otherwise known as "ice cream" made from snow. I have missed out on this alleged tradition for 27 years now. So with a little milk, vanilla and sugar my kids had a few moments of frozen goodness....

Richard thought it was disgusting, but the kids thought it was wonderful!

Lucas preferred his with a TON of sprinkles...

After lunch we bundled up (despite my protests) and headed out for a bit a "fun" in the 18 degree temperatures.

Call me a party pooper, but I despise being cold.

So I braved the windy, snowy, cold for a few snaps of the kiddos.

Life is about those Kodak moments, afterall.

We were prepared for this snow!

Lucas was knee deep in the white stuff...

(that's 8" for those who were curious!)

Meredith decided to call it quits.

I rejoiced and walked up the snowy driveway to find us some blankets.

Lucas and Daddy decided to stay out a big longer.

Lucas continuously pulled the sled up and down the driveway.
Who thought an empty sled would be so much fun?
