An Arkansas Snow!

We got about 5 inches of snow!!!  And we have thoroughly enjoyed it :-)  This is the first snow that Jonathan has been big enough to enjoy, and enjoy it he did!  Jeff stayed home from work for two days, and we had some wonderful family time.  We enjoyed snow cream (a first for Jeff and Jonathan), hot chocolate, card games, playing in the snow, playing in the snow, and some more time out playing in the snow!

Jonathan checking out all that white stuff!

 He quickly gave the snow his approval.

 The cold, wet snow didn't bother him a bit, he loved it!

 Helping Daddy shake snow off the trees.

 We were out playing in the snow by 9 o'clock Monday morning.  The neighborhood was very peaceful, quite, and still - every now and then a truck would venture down the road.  Jonathan loves cars and trucks and proceeds to yell and point everytime he sees one!

I (and baby Kellen) enjoyed playing in the snow too! 

This spot of snow came almost to J's knees.

In awe of the beautiful snow (actually, I think he was staring at our neighbor's fire pit that was ablaze with burning trash)!

Redneck sledding!  Frozen snowy windshields are sooo much fun :-)



Our neighbor's slide is a lot of fun on snowy days too!

Time to head inside to thaw out.  I had multiple layers of clothes on Jonathan, but he managed to sit in the snow a lot, and after 30-45 minutes his clothes were getting pretty wet and we decided to head inside. 

Check out that hat hair!  Jonathan was very upset when we took him inside and kept pointing to go back outside. So we threw all our wet snow gear in the dryer, took a nap, and then headed back outside later in the afternoon!

 Yay, back out in the snow!


 Daddy and J building a miniature snowman - seconds later J knocked the head off!

 Hmmm, what does this stuff taste like?



Kellen is already getting hit with snowballs :-)  I hope she comes out fiesty!

Even a face plant in the snow didn't bother him!


Jeff gave him this snowball to play with, and he got super excited and started yelling, "baa, baa" (ball, ball!).

Time for a little more redneck sledding!

These are so cute! Looks like a lot of fun. Redneck sledding is, well, pretty innovative ;)
