Snowed In

We and most of the South got hit with a winter storm last week.  In my area we got about .5” of ice and 6” of snow.  That is some of the reports.  I will save all of you from my rant about how horrible this area is about clearing roads.  I have been trapped in my house for 5 days!!! AHHHH!!! Michael left this house this morning and went to work…jealous! He said the roads were bad, just a big sheet of ice. No fun! So, what’s a family to do when they are trapped in the house.  Watch LOTS of movies, and take our almost 1 year old outside for a total of 10 minutes to basically get pictures of him with his first snow.

Yesterday, we were going so stir crazy, but luckily my in laws and niece and nephews came over to play. Thankful for the change in scenery. The kids had a blast and Mason had fun just watching everyone play.  Soon kiddo, very soon you can chase after them.  He is a fast crawler, but it is hard to keep up with two 2 yrs olds that ran around squealing.  They were loud,  but having SO much fun.

Friday morning, when Mason woke up…we took him to the window to see the snow.  He was screaming and banging on the window. Gabby was also VERY excited to see the snow.We put Mason in his snow suit and decided to take him outside, while it was still snowing. He didn’t really care for the coat. He acted about how Gabby acts when we put her in an outfit…stiff.He acted so funny out in the snow.Trying to figure out what this white stuff is on the ground.Gabby was in doggie heaven. We didn’t get a big snow last year, so she would just run and run chasing snowflakes.The snow was coming down hard.The front of our house snowing.  I had to get this.  I thought the snow was so pretty. My candy canes are almost buried.Our attempt at sledding with Mason.  It was funny.  Notice Gabby running.Mason watching Gabby from inside the house.This is the only shot I got while the in laws were over.  Isn’t it the sweetest picture EVER?! This is my niece and nephew doing some snuggling on the couch. This sweet girl is never going to have a boy hurt her with 3 boys cousins.  She may even hate them for their protective-ness.
