Today, Aiken, SC has officially closed down.  The schools, daycares, municipal offices, pediatric clinics, you name it, closed!  We woke up this morning to a wonderful winter storm and the boys were SO excited!  It snowed the day after Christmas, but it was a wet, short lived snow that the little boys didn't even play in because it was so mushy and wet.  Not this snow!  It snowed for a few hours then came the freezing rain which encapsulated the snow with a hard candy like shell.  The boys had a blast!  Here are a few pics of  their snowy winter fun!

I feel the need to add the disclosure, I didn't take Livi Grace (my camera) out to play in the snow.  There was way too much snow and ice flying in my direction to take her out, so these are all with my cybershot point and shoot.

Don't let sweet Tuck fool you, I didn't get a shot of his face, but the blue jacket gives him away.  He was looking for me I'm sure, Tuck picked on me the whole time!

We had so much fun playing in the snow today.  It's the first time I can remember that it snowed all day long.  It started about 8:30am and continued until dark.  It's rare for it to snow here, but when it does, it's usually one of those things where we wake up and there is snow and we have to hurry out and play in it because by noon it will be gone.  But not today.  Taylor played in it off and on all day.  The boys went out once.  They were not to sure at first.  They wanted to stay on the sidewalk.  But when they saw that they could run in it and it didn't hurt, they had so much fun and threw such a fit when we had to come in.  Luckily, it was snack time and some milk and cookies calmed the savage beasts pretty quickly.  They wore some fleece footed pajamas (with shoes on over the footies), a sweat shirt, some sweat pants, and a jacket with 2 hats.  No mittens.  They wouldn't go for mittens/socks over the hands!  Regardless, they didn't mind the cold and neither did Wade or I.  We loved watching them all so excited and having so much fun.  

I'm so glad Wade came home this weekend!!

The 'snow family pic' isn't great as they wanted no part of us holding them, but we're all 6 in there!   
Yes, snow 2 years in a row!!
