We got something this year that I have not seen in all of my time in the Hampton Roads area........SNOW ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!! It started snowing Christmas evening, which was a Saturday, and did not stop until early Monday morning. Needless to say, we were stuck in the house ALL day Sunday and Monday. Here in Virginia Beach, they are TOTALLY unprepared for this kind of weather. They did not have enough snowplows to plow the Interstate, let alone the major roads. I did venture out Tuesday to get the BEST after Christmas Christmas present EVER (my brand new NookColor!!!) and the roads were HORRIBLE. Have you ever seen bulldozers, backhoes and graters plowing snow?! I HAVE!!! But, it did make for some exciting outdoor play for the boys. :)
Daniel was SOOOO ready to throw snowballs at me!! See the big grin on his face....lol
Paul just havin' a blast!!
Michael laying in the snow while Maddy and Daniel tried to attack him.
Reggie and Maddy were acting CRAZY in the snow. It was almost like they didn't know how to act!!
This is the beginning of the snow fort that Robert and Paul (mostly Robert) built.
Gramps helped the boys build this AWESOME snowman!!
The finished snow fort, complete with guard dogs...lol They are ferocious.....they'll lick you to death. ;)
This is a shot of half of our backyard on Sunday morning. This was only a little bit of the snow that we got. It ended up being 13+ inches of snow. The 3rd largest snowfall in this area since the 1800's. I'm thinking that this WON'T be the last we see of snow this winter. We usually get hit in Jan/Feb. So, we may get more fun in the snow!! I'll try not to complain TOO much.....seeing as how we don't usually see this much of the white stuff!!
