We got quite a bit of snow here in good ol' Dixie this week. Since the city of Atlanta, and the surrounding areas, only have about 5 snow removers (or whatever they are called) for 5 million people. That means we are basically stuck in our homes until the temperature warms up and melts all the cold stuff away. The girls were THRILLED about the snow and couldn't wait to get out there and play in it. Of course, GA snow is VERY WET, unlike Utah/Colorado/etc. snow and the temperatures were in the 20's. Inevitably, the cold dampened their winter wonderland spirits, and they only lasted about 1/2 an hour the first day. The next day, they weren't so thrilled about going out, but still wanted to. I think they made it 15 minutes. Addyson, sweet Addyson, has to do everything with her shoes off, so before I know it, she's run out into the snow with bare feet....that didn't last as long as she thought it would.....5 seconds maybe. Rylin was so excited to go out in the snow too, so I bundled her all up, sent her out laughing and running into it....then she fell and felt the coldness...then came the tears...for, I swear, 30 minutes after being inside trying to get warm. She hasn't beckoned to go out again.
The girls, however, were bound and determined to go sledding, so we took the Tupperware lids off of our big containers and Travis took them out to one of the hills on our street. They had a blast!!! We've watched a lot of movies, made cookies, played games, driven each other crazy, but also have enjoyed being shut in together. I've LOVED having Travis home!! I get to sleep in! We get to hang out all day! He, on the other hand had to "try out the roads" today...just in case he needs to go anywhere. ha ha. I think he's had fun too, but he's also itchin' to get back to his wrestlers. He's stressing out on how much weight they are gaining right now by not practicing. ha ha!
So, the snow has been fun, but GA is not equipped for it, and this GA girl is not equipped for it either, so BRING ON THE SUN!! Melt this stuff already!

That is a lot of snow! My kids would be thrilled too but we have seen no white stuff here - just have been cold. After a week in Utah too, I am READY for the sun. A total wimp I know, but I've decided I'm never moving to a real winter. Fun to see a new update. You are simply beautiful - hope your holidays were wonderful.
Looks like you have more snow than we do! Kids look like they are having fun.
