A Historic Snow

Not only did we get snow this winter, we got two winter storms that were supposed to be historic for the south. The first snow storm had nothing historic about it, but the past few days have been one for the books.

The first day of this storm brought harsh winds and freezing rain that hurt when you walked outside. It was not enjoyable to say the least so we stayed indoors and watched movies, played cards, and relaxed. I was very surprised I didn't get cabin fever -- Thomas could watch movies back to back and never get off the couch, I however, can't sit still for more than 1.5 hours and I have to get up. I tried to see "cabin fever" as a blessing -- as I got to enjoy staying inside and relaxing, many men and women, including my Daddy (yes, in the south, ladies still call their father "Daddy" -- it's a fact), were outside all night working wrecks, driving down roads to make sure they were in drive-able conditions for citizens, and working into the wee morning hours. It's a true treat to have cabin fever -- it means you've had an extended period of time to relax and unwind. Thomas and I enjoyed our time inside, but can't say too much for Liv -- I can't tell you how many times she took all her toys out of her very large toy tote and we picked them up after we were done playing.

We were finally able to enjoy the historic snow today. Livy loves the snow and everything about it -- she likes to eat it, play in it, and stay outside as long as she can stand it. The sheep, Rosie & Deloris, were absolutely adorable in the snow.

Because the ground was completely frozen, Thomas had a few bags of seed he uses for hunting so we grabbed handfuls of it and threw it on the ice for the birds. They loved us for it!

It was such a great time together to relax and enjoy our family and friends!
