Carly's First Snow

While Carly isn't quite old enough to enjoy the snow that fell yesterday and this morning, she still knew something wasn't quite right outside. We would stand at the front window watching the snow fall and Carly would look outside, then turn her head and look at me and then back to outside. This repeated several times.



It was quite the snowfall for metro Charlotte, starting about 4:30pm on Friday and continuing through the night until the wee hours this morning. We managed to keep roughly 3 inches on our yard, but totals have been as high as 6 around us with 10 as you get closer to the mountains. So after we watched the snow fall under the full moon last night, we warmed up by a fire and had some S'mores.



Then this morning we woke up later then usual, Carly slept for 13 hours, and had a wonderful breakfast of French toast made from homemade sourdough bread and bacon. We needed big breakfast to prepare ourselves for the cold weather outside.

Once we were all full (Carly decided she needed 10oz in the span of 45 minutes after sleeping 13 hours) we ventured outside to experience Carly's first snow.



We went down to watch the older kids play in the snow and sled down the hilly street.



Even though we had Carly pretty well bundled, she wasn't digging the cold so we didn't stay out long.



Once back inside, Carly napped while I shoveled the driveway for the first time in my life. Then I checked on the boat and removed about 6 inches of snow from the cover and then decided I was done for the day. After all that we started another fire and have been lazily sitting and playing by the warm fire for the rest of the day.
