Thursday morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. I knew there was a chance of snow but it was already several inches deep. I rushed outside to take pictures thinking that it would not stick and be gone soon like usual. Boy was I wrong. Four days later there is still some snow on the ground.
We had records for the most snow in a 24 hour time period (12.5 inches) and in a single day (7.8 inches). It pretty much did not stop snowing all day.
We were headed to Nana and Pops' house so we waited to play in the snow until we got there. Pops' enjoyed making snowballs. Katherine liked to eat the snow.
Of course, if big sister is going to eat snow, Caroline is going to copy her.
When it snowed in early December and at Christmas, the girls were not that excited to play in the snow but they really enjoyed it this time. Somehow we actually had the right clothes for it too. We had 2 snowsuits, warm coats, and snow boots. We also had cute hats and gloves that we bought in Norway.
Here is the back yard before we played in the snow.
You can see how deep it was at 9:30am. This was after only snowing for 5 of 24 hours.
Pops pulled out my childhood sled and pulled the girls around the yard.
They thought it was fun but I am not sure they would have really enjoyed going fast down a hill.
Nana was a great photographer and enjoyed watching us all play in the snow.
After playing in the snow we went inside and made snow ice cream. Yummy!
