More Snow
It's been a snowy winter here in Arkansas and we are enjoying it. It came down all day on Friday and was so beautiful. The girls have been sledding the last couple of days but today we decided to build a snowman. Snow wasn't great for making a snowman so we decided to build a snow fort:

This was from sledding yesterday. We went over to an empty neighborhood and pulled the sled behind the Jeep. I was driving and did a pretty good job of covering the family in snow.

SNOW
I woke up around five this morning hoping to see the ground covered with the snow that had been predicted and hooray - it was there!
We were supposed to get quite a bit of snow Christmas Eve night into Christmas Day and although we did have a White Christmas, it wasn't nearly what they had predicted. Jason and the girls played in it some but there wasn't enough to do much. Mackenzie was REALLY disappointed. I think we played enough today to make up for it.
We all went to an empty hilly neighborhood near us and tried doing some sledding but the hills weren't steep enough to go very fast.
Towards the end the girls just wanted Jason to pull him around behind the Jeep.
We stopped at home, warmed up by the fire with soup and hot chocolate then headed over to try out the big hills at our friend's house.
We went to another empty neighborhood (with less hills) and I drove the Jeep with the big kid (Jason) and Peyton in the sled. Then we picked up pizza and came home - I thought to stay in for the evening but then Jason and Peyton went out to play and built this cute little snowman (snowgirl?).
Now they are all out there AGAIN! I'm sure tomorrow will bring more of the same. I'm excited the girls have a snow day, I wasn't ready for them to go back to school.

Ice-Land Day Two
Day two for ice and it is so beautiful. I just wish it weren't causing so much havoc for so many people. They've already cancelled school for us tomorrow - I'm wondering if we'll even have it on Friday. I'm just glad they let us know already - they normally like to wait to tell us until the last minute. 
I'm starting to notice something in all the sledding pictures - little sister doing all the pulling while big sister kicks back. They had to come in a few times for hot chocolate breaks.
Our power has stayed on and we feel very fortunate for that since so many are still without. Last night blown transformers were lighting up the sky and today all the ice is falling off the power lines. I was without internet this morning and it is so sad how hard that was. I've already started the soup for dinner (hooray!), glad I hit Walmart before all this!

Snow Day!
I'm glad we have a snow day today!
UPDATE - The girls played outside for almost 6 hours nonstop yesterday and it may be the same today. They only came in to switch out wet clothes for dry. It must be a super wet snow because their coats were soaked through and Peyton's hair looked like she just took a shower. I haven't gotten any pictures yet but the girls both took some...I'll try to post a picture off Mackenzie's camera later.
