SNOW!!!

While most of the country has had more than it's fair share of snow lately, here in Wilmington, we hadn't seen so much as a single flake until this past Friday night. When it started snowing shortly after Bella went to bed, I was too excited for her to wait until the morning to see it. I went in and got her out of bed, which I never do. She was excited to see it to, especially since she's been asking all winter "is it gonna snow today?" So, needless to say, she bounded into our room fairly early Saturday morning, squealing and heading straight for the window. We woke up to a good 4 inches of snow on the ground, which is not much at all compared to other areas of the country, but it's a lot of snow for us. In fact, the weatherman had a list of snow in Wilmington since 1984, and the list was literally only 6-8 lines long. We were all pretty excited- well, except for poor, clueless Austin. He just grinned because we were happy :)

We got Bella and ourselves all bundled up to head outside to play. Here are a few pictures...

Jeez, mom, I realize it's cold out, but are all these clothes really necessary?

Bella and Scott working on their snowman. Scott forgot to rake all of Frank's "piles" out of the yard the day before, so he was afraid to make a bigger snowman for fear of including some poo.

Here's some snow for Frosty, Daddy.

Putting the finishing touches...

Scott and his babies...

Frank may be getting old, but the puppy in him still comes out when it snows. He had a blast too!

Me and my babies...

We had a good time playing in the snow. And we also enjoyed some hot chocolate afterwards. Maybe we'll get some snow again sometime!
