Snow... finally! Jan 20, 2009

We all enjoyed our few days in the snow..... We got a little over 6 inches & at first Eli was not a fan of all the "wet." But he quickly found out that it could be fun! This was the Eli's first snow ever & the first real snow for Jackson too. It has snowed before since he has been with us, but not enough to accumulate & he doesn't remember any of that. Anyway, we drove over to Randy's parents house since they have an awesome driveway for sliding & thanks to their cousin, Becca, the boys had lots of time outdoors. She slid them down the Moss' driveway & shook trees of snow all over them. It was a blast. And while they were all out playing, we (the adults) stayed in for most of that time & watched history unfold (the inauguration). Jackson especially could have stayed out all day in the snow. He literally rolled around in it constantly! Thanks to a hand-me-down snow suit (thanks Sophia!) & a few tricks from Aunt Marie (ziplocs over their socks but inside their shoes), they stayed dry most of the day. Of course, we took breaks to dry the mittens, gloves, hats, etc but then it was back at 'em!
