When asked if it snows in North Carolina two years ago, I would have said, "Snow? Ha ha, maybe an inch."

Well we actually got a few inches this past Sunday night and it's a big deal here not only because it's rare but also because North Carolina doesn't have the same clean up funding as New York, for the obvious reasons.

Here are some pictures of our front yard and back yard that night:



And Monday morning:




And our makeshift snowman. We really could have used Joel for this task.


Even with the stores out of bread, milk, and water my darling husband braved the roads and made it in to work Monday morning. We wish he would have had a day off to play with us in the snow, but he wasn't that fortunate.


Instead, Avery and I are bundled up to brave the white stuff. Since we live in the South I didn't see the need to buy Avery a snow suit and boots, so we made do. Yes those are my ankle socks that go over her calves.

She loved clapping her mittens together and being bundled up.

When I opened the back door she excitedly said, "Snow!" Then, she took a step in it and it was a totally different story. She froze up, (pun intended,) and freaked out *See scared face*....




















But it wasn't long before she decided that it was fun to play in.


As for this coming weekend, it'll be a tad different than our last. We have some high 70 degree weather coming, welcome to the South!

Even though it's been a little chilly for Charlotte this time of year, we got blessed with a little 60 degree weather.

Avery and I took advantage of the nice, but still chilly weather and went out in our spacious backyard to play. Check out the fun pics:




I had a blast with Avery checking out all the airplanes that went over head, watching her "mow" the lawn and conquering her play set. It was a good mommy and daughter bonding time as we laughed and ran around the yard and definitely made me want it to be warmer for more fun outdoor moments.
