Snow much fun!

I am still in shock that we received 8 inches of snow in the Memphis area on March 1st. In Parts of our yard we had well over a foot of snow! On Saturday after the UofM basketball game it started to sleet. The sleet was coming down pretty good and then magically it turned to snow. Big fluffy snowflakes. Shaun had to go in to work for someone from 7p.m. to 7a.m. So we didn't get out in the snow. Instead we watched from the window as the snow started to accumulate. At 6:00 Shaun left and there was about three inches on the ground and you couldn't see the street. What a fun night for Shaun serving the citizens of Memphis. (and it was- they all needed rides for the typical "emergency" medical calls). On Sunday morning Shaun came home and little did I know it had snowed over night. We woke up to 8-12 inches of snow. Everything was white and glistening. Shaun cooked pancakes and we suited up for a fun-filled day in the snow.
We have a really big hill in our backyard. We decided to have a sledding marathon. The hike up the hill is no easy task but the ride down was worth it every time. The more we went down the hill the faster we would go. When sledding became boring for Shaun, he decided to snow board. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I love how he still amuses me so much! The pictures really are worth 1,000 words! Lily enjoyed eating the snow, while Liam preferred sledding down the hill. We also made a princess snow girl. It was very cold so we took a nice long lunch break to thaw out and watched Harry Potter. Then we suited back up and went back out for more.
The snow was an unexpected treat. Our family had so much fun spending the day together playing. We were like four kids who just couldn't get enough. It is too bad the snow won't stick around for another day, or maybe it will and we can get a snow day! My fingers are crossed=).
