In honor of our snow day, I changed the song to: Snow Day, by Bleu!
Yesterday the news kept saying over and over again... SNOW... SNOW... SNOW! 3-6 inches!
The kids were so excited! They talked all day about all the things they were going to do in the snow! And Levi and I were excited for them because this would be the first snow for 3 of them and the first snow that 2 of them could really play in!
So, as Levi and I were going to bed, we waited for the 11 o'clock news and they said "Oh... looks like it is going to the east of Charlotte now... oops!" We were so aggravated! It seems like the Charlotte weathermen are notorious about getting people hyped up for bad weather and then it never happens. It is almost like they do it just to keep you watching for updates. Then during the 11 o'clock news they say nevermind. So, I went to bed worried that 7 little kids would be EXTEMELY dissapointed because of a lack of snow!
Luckily Mother Nature cooperated and we had our first!
SNOW DAY!!!
Yonas- all bundled up and ready to go!
Callie loves the swings, even in the cold!
The one benefit of having a weird hill in your back yard! It is heck to mow, but great for sledding! 
Ruby- all bundled up and pretty!
Daddy taking Callie down the hill! She loved the snow at first, but she got cold easily! She did not like sledding much either! Levi had to still go into work at 9, but at least he got to enjoy the snow with the kids first!
Jovie getting a snow ball ready! I was sure she would be grumpy about the snow, but she loved it!!! She would go inside for a little bit to warm up and then go right back out!
Jovie's turn!
Look at that face! She loved sledding!
Silas and Nolan loved the snow the most I think! The sled and sled and sled down that hill!
Making a snow ball!
Jovie made snow balls too!
The biggest instigator in the snow ball fights... Silas!
Levi is the biggest kid of them all!
Group snow ball fight!
My doe-eyed Ruby-doo!
Even Jovie made a snow angel! She was so into the snow!!! I was shocked! I thought she would find it too cold!
Silas' first snow angel! He had a list of things he wanted to do in the snow (that apparently he saw on TV or something): Make a snow angel, snow ball fight, sledding, and skating on the snow... which I told him he could not do!
Imagine if he actually threw that snowball while I was trying to take a picture! Messing with my camera = death!
Happy Jo! With a snowball!
Daddy with his cold Callie!
Nolan said he found a way to make it snow twice! 
Callie staying out of the way of Nolan's second snow!
Jovie giving Silas a taste of his own medicine!
Ummm... that is a really big snowball!
Trying to catch snowflakes on her toungue!
Pretty Snow-Princess Teenie!
Yonas did not like the cold very much! He got used to it, but spent a lot of time inside!
Go Nolan Go!
A Silas-cicle!
Callie warming up! This is what was on under her snow clothes... her PJ top, her ducky PJ bottoms (under the jeans), and of course... a swimsuit... put on her by a loving daddy!
Lettie finding a great way to warm up! She found her daddy's heating pad!
Two brothers warming up! They had a good time together!
Toastie Toesies! 
After this we had Hot Cocoa! The kids have been in and out of the snow all day! It was a great first snow!

How fun! We haven't had enough snow here for sledding yet. I wouldn't mind if I never saw snow again in my life though :) Or temps below 40!
That looks like soooooo much fun.
Cute pictures Audra!! Looks like you guys had a fun day! :)
OH HOW FUN! I loved all of your pictures! And Callie with the bathsuit on again! I LOVE IT!
And that Ruby, my my my, she is a doll like you said. Very photogentic.
You got WAY more snow than we did! We didn't even get enough to make a snowball. It was just a light white dusting across the green grass. When we drove east to Red Robin there was a lot more and Colin and Dad got to make a couple of snowballs. Totally disappointing after that prediction of up to six inches! Stupid Larry Sprinkle! It worked out very nicely when we sent to Chuck-E-Cheese. We were the only family there for awhile. That has never happened.
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
So far this is the first winter we haven't gotten our one day of light snow and I'm so disappointed! Elizabeth would finally enjoy it! It'll probably be the day we are trying to move :(
Sure looks like your kids got the full benefit of each and every inch of snow. Hope Levi didn't hurt his back sledding; that's what started it all way back in Monticello!
Looks like everyone had a BLAST! Thankfully, they had snow to play in!
Yeah! We had snow too, but we don't have a cool sledding hill in our backyard. How fun!
