Winter (Spring??) Wonderland!!!

It FINALLY did it. It finally snowed at our house. This is the first time Rafe has ever been able to play in the snow and we have ALL taken advantage of it. We played outside last night for a little while until it started thundering. I have never heard of "thunder snow". All it took was one loud BOOM of thunder and Rafe took off for the house. He has never run so fast in this life!! Rafe must have asked us a thousand times if it was going to thunder again. We went inside and made snow ice cream instead!!

Well, today is a new day!! He woke us up at 7:00 screaming, "It snowed outside. Let's go out, get up, get up!!" We went outside at 7:00 and finally came in at 12:15 because we were all frozen. (I'm sure our neighbors enjoyed hearing our sleds this morning bright and early!!) Rafe absolutely had a ball. We made a snowman, had snowball fights (of course with boxing gloves), made snow angels and, best of all, went sledding and sledding and sledding!! He could not get enough!! I wish this day would last forever!!

Rafe all bundled up for the snow. He pretended to be Randy

from "The Christmas Story"!
