January 22, 2016 Snowstorm

In Tennessee we don't get much snow. I can remember a handful of times in almost 30 years that there has been a significant snowstorm (at least for us). One was January of last year, and I was stuck out of town for part of it with friends working. Making our way home from East Tennessee was interesting to say the least. Jake had to work part of the day today, but Madison and I have been warm & cozy at home. We got 8-10" of snow, with drifts of even more snow! Temperatures aren't warming up until Monday either, so looks like we will be stuck inside all weekend. I think I will be going a little stir crazy to say the least. Good family time though!

When Jake got home from work we took Madi outside. Last year she hated the snow, so I didn't have high hopes for her enjoying being out in it. It took her a little while to get out of the garage into the snow, but she finally walked around a little in it. She also played in her playhouse some & liked that. I think her favorite part of the snow day was pulling icicles off & licking them. I think Jake had more fun then Madison did though - he was jumping into snowpiles & doing snow angels! We tried to make a snow man, but the snow wouldn't pack, so no Olaf today. Even though Madi didn't like being outside that much, I'm still glad we got out in it because that much snow doesn't happen often here! Here are some pictures from today!
