Snow Party!

Whoever wrote the song "Let It Snow" really knew what they were talking about. Two weeks ago the weather outside was frightful, the fire was so delightful, thankfully we had no where to go, so we let it snow and snow and snow! That Friday we went to our friends house to eat, watch movies, lounge by the fire and spend the night, but the snow didn't stop coming down for the next 24 hours... so we stayed another night. It was so beautiful. My favorite was making snow ice cream!

I know this was kind of a fluke snowstorm, and weather is totally unpredictable, but we kept laughing to ourselves thinking of the dozens of people who assured us before and after we moved that "it rarely snows in Annapolis and if it does, it won't accumulate much." :o)

Friday night lounging by the fire.
Matt playing Saturday afternoon.
So many flakes!
We did A LOT of first time snow shoveling.
Adorable snow baby in his makeshift laundry basket sled.Saturday night still watching it come down.Sunny, snowy, Sunday morning splendor!
Matt did a fantastic job of unearthing our car and clearing the driveway so we could make it to the airport later.
Doesn't do it justice. It was sooo deep! 18"-20" or more I think.

It is ever so beautiful but goodness I LOVE THE SOUTH!!!! The greatest part of a snow storm is watching it fall and yet even better...watching it melt. All that in between stuff is icky. And might I add...the snow "baby in a basket" is the cutest ever!!!
