It's a Snow Day!

We had to laugh last night when we saw all the area schools closing in the anticipation of the 2 inches of snowfall we were predicted to receive overnight. And as we ventured out early this morning, I think we were all of 5 people in Charlotte out on the roads.

Kaiya was excited to see the snow, but it was kind of a let down when she actually got outside. Not quite as glamorous as Frosty the Snowman made it look on tv. Her face was priceless when she realized how cold and wet it was. Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture that on camera, but here are a few other shots we took.


Okay... Kaleb was less than thrilled as well. I'm flinching in fear that I am going to get decked.

On this one you will notice how his right hand is all blurry. That's because he was violently waving it back and forth -- his equivalent of a temper tantrum lately. He did not want to be put down in that snow.
We hear it has been 3-4 years since the last snow here in Charlotte. We're enjoying the beautiful trees today... and looking forward to tomorrow when it will be back in the 40s-50s. This is the way to do winter.

Wish we were there to make "little snowballs" & take the kids sledding.
