SC Snow!

We had a big treat this week and got six inches of snow! It started snowing Sunday afternoon with HUGE flakes coming down. It snowed until around midnight and the next morning we had beautiful snow perfect for playing! We did a little playing Sunday evening - Matt pulled Rachel on a little sled all over the neighborhood. The next morning, Matt had to go in to work so Rachel and I played for an hour and a half in the snow! It had warmed up quite a bit, so we weren't even cold. First she did her yearly snow angel, then we built our snowman. I went in to get a carrot for the nose and had the bright idea to use Oreo cookies for the eyes. Smart, huh? It worked great until Nutmeg tackled our poor snowman and ate his eyes and nose. I got him put back together, minus the facial features. Rachel then wanted me to pull her around the cul-de-sac on the sled. I'm neither as fast or as strong as Matt, but I gave it my best try! I then took a break on the front porch while Rachel got to work trying to move the snow in the front yard to the back yard one sand pail at a time. We finished up with Rachel driving her jeep in the snow - it worked pretty well for a while! Oh, we also spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the fallen branches around the yard. Thankfully we didn't have any damage, but we did have some good sized ones come down!
