The Cowleys: Snow in the South

So we woke up to a little bit of snow, which I didn't think would happen. They had mentioned on the news a few days ago that we might get some rain that might turn to snow. You never know when it will really happen down here in the South and sometimes the weather doesn't hit us the same here near Lake Norman as it does in south-east Charlotte where my folks live.
Since it did snow that meant that Jenna's daycare was closed, which meant another day of mommy, Jenna, and Peyton (I was kinda looking forward to Jenna going to school so I could take multiple cap-naps with Peyton, but oh well!) Since we needed to come up with things to keep us entertained, Jenna and I decided we should go play in the snow while we had the chance. We couldn't venture far as I was not about to take a 3 week old out in the cold just to play. This meant that Jenna and I could only play on our deck so that Peyton could stay inside in her papasan seat next to the window so we could keep an eye on her as she slept. Here are a few pictures of our first snow experience. I forgot to take pictures of the brick wall that we threw snow balls onto, but at least we got to make and throw them.

Jenna's first steps onto the snow! Thank goodness our neighbor had just given us a pair of boots her daughter had out grown.
