It snowed...

...back in October. This is has been one crazy winter and certainly not what we expected from our first winter in Maryland. When it snowed at the end of October I thought, "Oh no...here it comes"...but then nothing came. And with less than 2 weeks of winter to go I'm thinking that nothing is what we are going to get. I'm glad we had at least one real snow day and even happier I have these pictures to document the only snow we got this year.

It goes without saying, but here I go "saying" anyways--The boys were thrilled to see the snow.


Reed carrying out his big brother duties on a poor unsuspecting Max. All I can say is that he's lucky Max is such a good sport.


Ruby mostly enjoyed the first (and only) snow.


She especially enjoyed it when she joined her brother sledding down the driveway. That girl is a thrill seeker.


It didn't take long for sledding to turn into snowboarding.






and snowball fights...


The rest of the day was spent working on a snowman, which sadly I did not get a picture of.







We must have had an inkling that this was going to be our only snow because, looking through these pictures, I am going to say that we successfully checked off our entire snow "to do" list for the year in one day. If only I had had as much foresight when deciding to buy snow clothes after the first of what I assumed would be many snow days. I guess there is always next year. (No growing--ok kids?)
