We woke up to snow on Friday, December 8, 2017. The night before the weatherman had several models predicting at least some snow. I was thinking it might be a little dusting and Josh was sure that it wouldn't be anything. He woke me up at 5:00 am to tell me and wanted to get the kids up, but I said to wait a little longer. He had been up since 4:00 am waiting on us, so around 6:30 we all got up.
Our last big snow was 9 years ago. We have had a little bit since then, but this was a big surprise. I'm glad the kids got have this special day.
It was really coming down in big flakes
I had planned on doing school, thinking it wouldn't be any snow or maybe just freezing rain. Josh was off, so I let them skip for a fun day.
Josh was so excited and was like a boy on Christmas morning. He said. "this is unbelievable" about 400 times!!

Everyone decided to go to the levee to slide down by Jen and Mario's house. They had so much fun! I'm glad they got to do that. It may be years before we see snow again.
Gianna wore Hudson's old pair of insulated camo coveralls
Here are some videos of the "sledding" fun
I even went down one time
A few wipeouts
This is actually Kaden and Gianna. It was hard to tell with all the clothes on.
Kaden came back to our house and they built a bigger snowman
We went to the camp that night and they had gotten more snow than us
It was very pretty out in the woods with the snow.
The next morning it all was melting and it was loud as it fell to the ground. The snow was a beautiful sight, but I'm glad we don't have it all the time. It was such a mess and a lot of wet clothes!
