SNOW!

Around 2PM Saturday, flurries started and it snowed most of the evening. When it first started coming down, the boys ran outside to catch snowflakes on their tongues. We scrapped our plans to go to the Apex Christmas parade however it was perfect snowball snow so we had an AWESOME snowball fight in the backyard. If you're ever in a snowball fight, don't pick Nate as your teammate because he will cream you even if you're on the same team.

I didn't get any pictures of the snow as it snowed all day. By morning, most of it was melted. Sunday afternoon was the big sledding event at Bond Park, which salvaged our "holiday cheer" plans. Notice anything wrong with this picture?




Sledding backwards? It happens. No, what's wrong with this picture is that it was so warm the snow melted, leaving big muddy patches on the sled path. And with the overnight melted snow and the sledding snow melting, it was a huge muddy mess at the bottom.

It didn't stop us from having fun but it did make us so muddy that we stripped the boys to their underwear before getting in the car. And we had to wash EVERY item of clothing we wore.... ALL LAYERS.

So so so worth it.
