Snow!

Little did we know we were going to get about 5 inches of snow with ice on top! Enough to shut things down for a few days here in Raleigh. It started snowing at about 11:30 on Wednesday afternoon and by noon when Ryan got home the roads were already terrible. We have friends that were stuck in traffic trying to get home for hours! I was so thankful that I had my little family all together.

The snow piled up quickly. By 4:00 that afternoon we already had about 3 inches. We took Hailey out but she didn't really enjoy it. It was so powdery she had a hard time walking and it was still snowing hard and hitting her in the face.

The next morning we had about 5 inches of snow with a thick layer of ice on top. That's a lot for here!

We started the morning with chocolate chip pancakes made by Daddy.

Someone was sneaking chocolate chips!

Hailey had more fun playing in it then and we tried sledding again. It worked much better in a clothes basket! (We totally need to buy a sled so we don't look so silly next time but I wasn't about to let my baby miss out on sledding!)

She had much more fun than last time! She just laughed the whole way and then said "more. more'"

We only stayed out about 20 minutes in the morning. Ryan went back out that afternoon to shovel the driveway and Hailey wanted to go back out too. I enjoyed watching my loves from inside this time! I love watching them together. It is absolutely precious.

Ryan taught her to make a snow angel

And then Hailey's dream came true...they made "Frosty"!

Crazy thing was that Ryan was supposed to fly out that day to go to the Dominican to visit his sister. Obviously with the weather that didn't happen and I am so glad we got a snow day together.
