We got our first big snow of the year! We had a couple of days of snow earlier in the season {in December and January}, but nothing has actually stuck. So when we heard that this weather system was coming, we were excited that we might get some good snow days.
On Sunday, we woke up to a few inches of snow, and it continued all day long. But we knew we needed to enjoy it early, because the snow quickly turned to sleet. But also not too early...we had to hold the kids back so the neighbors could sleep haha!
Proof that Mommy played in the snow for a little bit too ;)
It was fun to have neighbors come over and play, too!
Mike took the kids out sledding at a bigger hill later in the afternoon, so they had their fill of snow for the day. And is tradition, we were able to warm up inside with hot chocolate and a warm fire :)
On Monday, the snow and sleet had stopped, so the kids were able to play out in the snow again! But it also meant we had to spend the day shoveling {the not so fun part of snow}. We are so thankful for our neighbors, as it became a whole cul-de-sac effort to clear driveways and dig out cars.
The temperatures are not supposed to get above freezing until next week sometime, and they are even talking about the possibility of more snow this coming weekend. So this snow/ice is going to stick around for awhile. The kids certainly don't mind...they have been out every day this week, and it is giving them just a little extra motivation to get their schoolwork done, so they can go out and play!
