Snow Day

We finally had a snow day! One that actually had snow, not ice. It has been years since the fun, fluffy stuff had been enough to play in. And, it was my son's birthday...what a great present, huh? Here's my now 11 year old.... My daughter doesn't actually remember the last time we had a real snow. That time she was not yet 2 and the snow came up to her belly. This year, it was all fun.

Yes, finally a picture of me....I figure once or twice a year I have to be in one...just for the kids' sake. We enjoyed the snow, and amazingly, 3 days later, we still have patches on the ground...it will be gone this afternoon though. Snow in the South is a rare occurence indeed.
