Snow Day!!!

Last night it finally snowed here and got a real snow day. I say "real" because usually here in charlotte they close the schools even if it's only an inch or less of snow. And everyone acts likes it a blizzard. It's actually quite funny to me. Especially since i found myself soo happy that we got a whole 4inches of snow over night. Where i grew up that's not consider major snow, i used to blizzards, but here it is. So some of my roommates had their friend over and we stayed up past 2 in the morning.

We were all so excited about the snow last night and spent alot of time taking pictures of everything when it first started. The snowflakes were soooo big at times...it was really cool.


Here's a bunch of paw prints from the dogs...i think it's so cute. They were really funny when they went outside...they couldnt figure out why this white stuff kept falling on them.


This is the side of our house. Early we had a small pond and river running through the side of the yard because of all the rain we had over the last few days. And now it's all frozen and covered with snow.


I just thought this tree looked really cool in the snow, with the big snowflakes falling


Whenever we get a decent snowfall, Crystal likes to make snowcream. She used to do this when she was a kid. So it's a tradition. Basically it's just snow mixed with milk, sugar, and vanilla...and you used the very top part of the snow. We used the snow from our table. It's taste pretty good but is very sweet.


And as part of our snow celebration...we played Dutch Blitz. I was really excited cause i hadn't played in awhile. This game ended up being the longest game i think i've ever played. It took us almost 2 hours to finish, i think it was around 1 am when adrienne finally reached 100. You win when someone reaches 100...well i actually broke a record last night. Instead of reaching 100....i scored -202. As my roomies said last night, i won twice in "opposite land". I'm not that good at the game cause it's really fast, and it hard for me to go through my cards that quick, but i have fun anyway cause usually the games gets really crazy.

So like i said before we didn't go to bed till after 2 this morning. And then i slept till about 9 this morning. We were all awake by 10. And Adrienne made us chocolate chip pancakes, and i made us plenty of peppermint coffee. So we had a yummy roomie breakfast. And now i'm laying in bed, watching the snow melt outside of my window.
