Snowstorm 2009

I'm originally from Rochester, NY so when I hear that snow is headed our way I get really excited! I know that it won't be the amount of snow that I remember as a kid, but I still know that there will be some time for fun if it will actually stick! Yesterday, we awoke to a little bit of snow on the ground, so we decided to go out and play before heading to church. It was Davis's first snow to play in because last year he was sick the one time that it snowed, so he wasn't able to take advantage of the fun!

How could we play in the snow without making a snowman? Dan was the winner in the snowman contest. Davis kept wanting to break the parts of the snowman I was making. :) We assured him that next year he'd probably be more into making the snowman, but it will be Isaac's turn to want to break the different parts. :) :)

Our snowman masterpiece. I think it took most of the snow in our front yard to creat Mr. Snowman.

Little Birdy footprints in the snow. We had these in several places around our yard. Apparently, the birds were also out playing in the snow!

As you can see on our gate, total snow accumulation of under an inch. By the time we were home from church, Mr. Snowman was tipped over and all of the snow in our yard was gone. We put Mr. Snowman back up and he continued to thrive for a few more hours!

As for Isaac, he was busy taking a nap while we played outside. :)
