SNOW!!

I never thought I'd say this and actually mean it...but I love Missouri! At the beginning of January we had a day or two of beautiful 50-60 degree weather. Then a week later we were covered in 8 inches of snow! And now, as I am writing this, my windows are open and a lovely 66 degree breeze is blowing through my house! Anyway, can you believe we got 8 inches of SNOW?! I love snow! It started off with just a little bit the first day, but then over night and the next day we accumulated quite the pile. And, the wonderful city of Washington was on top of the snow plowing! Jesse was able to go to work with no problems, and I even braved the roads to go to Cammie's! You see, you can't have snow without sledding or snow ball fights! And since Steve probably wouldn't have appreciated a snow ball in the face, we went to play with the cousins! School was out (of course) and so we did it all...snow ball fights, sledding, and even burring the boys in snow! Unfortunately, we couldn't quite get a snowman to work! But we still had a blast!

I took Steve out when the snow first started falling, and this is what happened! It was a short experience!

This is what we woke up to in our back yard!

Here's Steve ready for the snow...he could barely move, and walking was next to impossible! But it was quite funny! I'm so mean!

Here's the cousins ready for some cold snow!

Steve did not like his gloves, and he especially did not like them with snow stuck to them!

The boys about to do some serious sledding!

Steve kept falling over and was so bundled he couldn't get up! So I made him stay stuck so I could get a picture...I was thinking of the blog the whole time, I'll admit it! poor Steve!

I thought Steve would love sledding...but the sun was too bright in his eyes and he hated it!

Ali was too cute all bundled up! Recognize the hat she's wearing...she made it with Aunt Emily!
