Day After Christmas Snow Day

Snow began falling Christmas night and we awoke to a true Winter Wonderland for NC.  We easily received over the 6 inches predicted and due to the amount of snow, church was cancelled.  Ty came running into our bedroom exclaiming, “It snowed!  We can have a snowball fight! Come on!” 

Here is Ty performing his "Snow Day" Dance (He picked up his moves from Dad and added his own style):

After getting some breakfast and watching some Thomas movies, Ty informed me he was ready to go out in the snow.  He retrieved his snowboots, snowpants, coat and gloves and he was outfitted for the snow.  He was ready to go.

Dad joined him while I tried to convince Kylan to go out.  We enjoyed watching Dad and Ty have a snowball fight from the warmth of the house.

Kylan finally decided that Ty and Dad were having fun without him and he let me get him dressed to go out.  We improvised using Ty’s rainboot and eventually he let me put his mittons on.

We made our way to the backyard and Kylan enjoyed going down the slide and Ty decided he needed to clean the snow off the playset.

After warming up from his snowball fight with Ty earlier, Dad rejoined us outside.  Dad and Ty resumed trying to build a snowman in the front yard, but the snow still wasn’t packing right.  The rain boots were big on Kylan, but he soon figured out how to manage them and enjoyed walking through the high snow piles.

Ty also resumed his snowball fight with Dad.

Kylan decided he also wanted to throw snowballs, although he basically just liked picking it up and dropping it again.

We watched a handful of people walk by and a group of kids with their sleds.  So we made our way to the street.

Kylan decided to walk down the road through the pile of snow.

There was nothing better than coming in from the cold and snow to a bowl of homemade turkey noodle soup – Chris opted for the homemade ginger butternut squash soup.
