Snow Day!

Raleigh had it's last significant snowfall in 2004...so it was pretty amazing we got a snow storm with 6 inches our first winter here! I wish I could say the kids loved the snow and wanted to play in it all day, but that sadly was not the case. Of course the dogs loved it and played and romped for hours!

First try outside in the backyard...Liam screamed the whole time.

After the unsuccessful venture in the backyard, we went inside and started taking off all the snow clothes. Liam pointed to his other coat and wanted to put it on. As soon as that was on...he started heading towards the garage. So we decided to go back outside, the front of the house this time, and Liam had a much better time. As long as he stayed on the path Chris made with the snow shovel, he was a happy camper (apparently he wasn't a fan of the snow on his shoes either!).

Different coat (and mom's gloves because his were wet)...Liam finally smiled!

Chris showed Keira how to make a snow angel...which she did not want to do herself! She didn't mind the snow on her feet like Liam, but she was not going to put her whole body in the snow either.

Keira is quite the helper and insisted on helping Chris shovel the driveway! I first gave her a broom which was more her size, but that wasn't enough "like daddy's" so she used the shovel that was bigger than she is!
