The big snow of '08

The Triangle area of NC was on full alert for the "huge" snowstorm heading our way. Kids were waiting with bated breath, church closed, people made a run on eggs, milk, and bread. Home Depot sold out of generators and batteries... We were ready...

Liam catching a few of the first flakes. Daddy is quite a bit colder than he's letting on...

Done. After a night of storming, a full 3/4 inch! We went out at 7am... In order to make a snowball we had to pack it into the margarine container.

The deck had a good amount. And Liam spent a great deal of time "shoveling."

At our neighbors across the street. Their backyard is sloped and we gave it a good try (mostly sledding down frozen grass after the first run...) Liam loved it!

And there's nothing like coming in after a morning in the snow to hot cocoa, pancakes with maple syrup, and red cheeks.
