SNOW!!!!

Oh, what do you do in the winter time when all the roads are closed?   Do YOU....
 Play in the snow, 

 Watch Star Wars for the first time, 

Or play with a box for DAYS? 

Is that what you do?!?    So Do I.

 Sledding Fun!

 The advantage of living down the street from your cousins is you get to build snowmen together when it snows. 

We had some crazy weather the past 4 days.  It started coming down Tuesday morning and instantly stuck to the roads and turned to ice. There was nothing to be done, no one could go anywhere.  People were stranded on the interstate, stuck in their offices, and stuck at school for a few days. Luckily I was home with the boys as Brandt had a cold that morning and we were laying low at home. Andrew was only a few miles away but by the time he was able to head home, the way was completely impassable. He ended up ditching his car in a church parking lot and walked the 3 1/2 miles home. Along the way he passed the middle school and was able to get our 13 year old niece and she continued the walk home with him.  5 of our family members were stuck at their works or at a friends house. Our state came together with lots of stories of people helping out each other. When my family moved to Alabama in 1989 and my mom saw all the hills, and she asked what people do when it snows?  And THIS is why the relater answered..."Stay Home Of Course!!!"  We survived Snowpocalypse 2014!
