The Wilsons: Snow Much Fun!

In Mississippi when the word "snow" is used, people start heading to Wal Mart to buy all the bread and milk they can find...just in case the power goes out or if the roads are too icy for driving. What on earth can one do with only bread and milk in a time like this? In January, the term "snow storm" was used one too many times by local weatherman, Dick Rice, so everyone thought we were going to be snowed in for days. One particular morning, we woke up to NO snow but school had already been canceled--just in case. A few flakes started to fall and by mid morning, the ground was covered in the "white stuff." Cole and Mary Conlee usually wake up to a blanket of snow on the ground, so they enjoyed watching it fall and stick this time around!

Is this the snow they promised?

We must taste it to believe it!

We played with our friends down the street, Anna, Katelyn, and Miller. It was fun visiting with their mom, Lori, too! The kids were having fun having snowball fights, riding their razors in the powder, and coming in and out of all the neighborhood houses. Hot chocolate warmed them up, then they would pile on all their winter accesories and head back out for more fun in the snow.

It's must more fun to play on this when it's snowing!

We were glad Miller came to play, too!

The fun part of this snow was that the grass was covered in snow, but the roads were completely cleared. So after a morning at home, we piled in the car and went to Las Margaritas for lunch. Judd wanted to check out the roads to see if they were ok for driving. We came back home and he went on to work. Mary Conlee wanted to make a snowman, so she began with a little ball and rolled an enormous ball. Cole tried hard to make one, too, but it never stuck together or grew in size. He became frustrated that his sister was showing him up! So, we worked together with her large ball and his smaller one to make our own version of a Roll Tide snowman. We wanted to remind all our of Mississippi neighbors who the National Champions are!
