Snow Day - but for real this time

The build up for snow in our area is always monumental.  This time was no exception, as they were calling for up to 8 inches.  I am always doubtful, and while we had nothing near that amount, we did have so much this weekend!
Shiloh enjoyed making a snow snack with some blackberries.
After it started snowing for a bit, Ezra enjoyed sweeping it up into a large pile, even though it would continue to snow through the afternoon, evening, and through the night.
After hours of snow play, the boys enjoyed a hot chocolate break.
Then they were back at it outside.
The girls had some brief fun outside as well.
Zoe snagged this beautiful photo at dusk.
Even after dark, Ezra was attempting to get in some more play with RC plowing car on the deck.
The next morning everything was covered, not to the extreme that was predicted but so much for fun play!  The boys had taken the wheels off of a skateboard and used it in attempting to snowboard.
By the time I made it out for a walk, the snow was already starting to melt, especially in the sunny areas that sleders had had their fun!
A kind neighbor let us borrow her circle sled type item and it was fun! It worked way better than the cookie sheet that Ezra was attempting to use. Most of the times I ended up falling off eventually but no injuries were had (but several videos)!
Such a blessing and glad that Ezra went with Beach and I on a walk!
We, also, attempted some face imprints in the snow after I had seen someone else doing so online. Tricky to be able to get your face just right and hold still.  However, the outcome is so funny if you can endure the slight torture.
Can you tell which one is Beach and which is mine.
Ezra's face didn't turn out, so he went with a handprint.
Such a fun and rae experience!  We pray and trust God to provide for us when our business had to close, and are thankful that we actually got snow and now just ice this time around!
