Elsa Came to Town

This winter has been crazy.  We have had many threats of snow and ice but it never came to pass.  So when they said that we were going to get up to 6" of snow one afternoon, and they canceled school ahead of time, I still didn't believe it.  And then it came!  Big, fat, sticky flakes started falling from the sky.  Within minutes it was a snow storm and Morgan couldn't wait to get out in it!  Macie was napping so Morgan wanted to get dressed up as her favorite snow queen in honor of the occasion.
 
I couldn't keep Morgan out of the snow!  She loved everything about it: eating it, throwing it, making snow angels and most of all sledding.  When Jeff came home early from work we got in another round of dry clothes and found a hill.  Luckily some friends were there with a real sled!  We had to pull her away kicking and screaming!
 
And Macie?  Well she hated it.  Hated every second to be outside.  And screamed when we put her down!  Poor thing didn't know what she was missing.  Thankfully Sissy was here so she stayed home with her GaGa while Jeff and I got to play with Morgan. 
 
It was the perfect snow.  It came down hard and fast and we ended up with almost 8" in one afternoon!  This does not happen in Mississippi!  And there was no ice.  So by the next day things were starting to melt and the roads were clear.  (Which was great because I had a Bachelorette trip to get to!)  We had an afternoon full of fun and memories.  Ones you usually have to travel a long time to make! 
 
The next week we got a round of ice and sleet.  Not nearly as fun as our snow!  With all these snow days off of school and this bad weather, we are ready for spring!

 Morgan and Kendall went down together too
 Day two of snow and Morgan still can't convince Macie that this stuff is fun
Bless her!
