Ok...so last week...namely, 1 hour following Carissa's 5th birthday party (where she wore flip flops and tee and skirt) a blizzard hit South Carolina:) No really as the little girls were exiting the party the flurries started and 2 hours later we had about 6 inches covering everything outside our door!! We have not had snow here in the south for 2 years now and after asking for winter gear last xmas it was quite the disappointment BUT today it all paid off....we traded in a Chik-Fila dinner for a night of sledding in ...our snow boots, snow pants, hats gloves and even the sleds surprised the kids as we never ended up giving them to them last xmas because we felt bad there was no snow....Mason was over the moon to find out we had sleds....did I mention what a bummer this huge hill in our yard has been since living here....we are just renting for 1 year until we buy in the spring and the kids have hated our yard because it is one giant hill...making it hard to play and run around BUT tonight that was tossed aside because our yard was a winter wonderland with the best sledding hill ever!!! Even Ryder liked getting pulled around in the sled.
As with any snow in the south it left as quickly as it came and by the next day our snowman was barely standing but what a fun birthday present that was for Carissa and the boys were thrilled too!!!
