Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Prior to Christmas, we made a trip to VA to visit Rich and Carol (Grampy and Grammy). Before departing NC, we received a call from Rich inquiring as to whether or not the girls owned boots. He informed us they were predicting snow that weekend. We decided to be proactive and purchased boots for each girl with the intention of returning the boots in a couple of months if never worn. Let's just say, we won't be needing the receipts!

We were lucky enough to witness a historical record in the DC area...the most snowfall in one day in the month of December. Approximately 20-24 inches of snow blanketed the DC area, starting around 9pm Friday night and ending sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

The girls were absolutely thrilled that they could try out their new boots!! They trudged around in the snow, frequently tasting the "white" stuff, and even managed to build a snowman and sled with some of the other kids in the subdivision.

Despite the hard work and hours of shoveling, I think we all enjoyed the snow and the thought of being "snowed in with no place to go."
