Snow in Alabama!

We actually had a good amount of snow last Friday (Feb 12th since I am really late posting this). It was beautiful to see the snow falling all day long and stick long enough to play in it. The boys were pretty excited about it. We didn't have the right gloves for them so their little hands got pretty frozen, but for the most part they didn't mind. Friday morning we bundled up and took a little walk around the neighborhood in the snow. Joshua wasn't too keen on walking in it, but did have fun eating the snow after he saw Nicholas do it. Who knows what was in it, I try not to think about that.




Eating snow.

After lunch there was enough snow to build snowmen. I tried to put Joshua down for a nap, but he wasn't having that so I bundled him up and sent him outside with Burt and Nicholas. They had a good time making our snowman and throwing snowballs. After awhile Joshua's hands were freezing and was pretty miserable so I went inside and made hot chocolate for everyone and tried to warm him up. Every so often the boys would go look outside to make sure their snowman was still there. It was cute. All and all a fun experience for them.

After dinner, or maybe before, we went for a little drive around the neighborhood to see all the other creations families had made. Nicholas was very excited about this. It was also nice to see white everywhere. Fun times in Montgomery, Alabama.

Burt's attempt to be funny by making a "mohawk" on his car.

Not as much snow on the ground since it was used for the snowman, but still pretty. Look at the roofs.
