Snow, Snow, & More Snow

We have had some serious cabin fever the last 4 days, I'm sure along with many others! We've kept busy with playing, LOTS of crafts and movie watching!

Ry making some Valentine "love bugs."

Wednesday we were graced with a rolling blackout that lasted for 4.5 hours, instead of the 15 min. it was supposed to be. Thank goodness we were able to get firewood from our neighbors, the house got down to a chill 58 degrees, not fun!

Ry checking out the fire

It got to the point that if we weren't in front of the fire it was pretty darn COLD! Thank goodness we were able to charge the portable dvd player in my car so we could watch Mickey's Christmas Carol a half a dozen times!
This is Ry's new favorite thing to do....

Fun in the snow, I think she would have stayed out all day if I let her!

Ry decided it would be fun to throw snow!
She LOVES to eat the snow and kept saying, "ice cube" every time she took a bite.
Attempting to throw snow at Ruger. I think he knew she was up to no good and wouldn't come any closer than this...


I love her little butt in these sweat pants!
Stinker

Can we say static much???!!!

Where's Rylee?
There she is (hate that this is not focused)!

Round II with Daddy! Here Brad is showing how deep the snow was in some spots of our yard!

LOVE these two!
Oh... and a story about this (the swing in the yard). The night all of this ice started it was so windy that our swing blew off our porch and across the yard, the smoker also flew of the porch and the table and chairs had slid all the way to the opposite side of the patio! I think if our table and chairs weren't tied together they would have crashed threw the window...no joke!

Brad throwing snow at Ruger! Ruger LOVES the snow too...maybe not in his face, but he LOVES it!

Ry showing the deepest part!

When the sun finally came out it was BE-A-UTIFUL!

I talked Brad into taking us to Salt Grass for dinner tonight to get out of the house. So here is the poor guy shoveling tire tracks to get down the driveway. Unfortunately we couldn't get the car back in the garage when we got home. We have the steepest street & driveway in the whole neighborhood!
Good News: Dinner was FANTASTIC, Thanks babe!!!

So fun! I love the pictures of Ry in the snow. She is totally in her element! It is the cutest thing! I can't believe you guys had a 4.5 hour rolling black out. That is CRAZY! I am so sorry!!! Rylee was so cute in front of the fire watching her movie though all cuddled up in blankets. Miss yall!
