Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it...stop snowing!

As I am sure everyone knows, we were hit hard by a snow storm on Friday. They tend to exagerate the amount, and even the fact that we will get snow around here, so we didn't rush to the store to buy all the bread and milk like everyone else in Western North Carolina. This is the time we should have actually listened though! Thankfully we had enough supplies in the house, and made it through just fine. We lost power for about 25 hours or so, and were without cable for 3 days. We just got it back about 2 hours ago! We made the best out of being stuck at the house with no power. The camping equipment, and the turkey fryer came in handy! Saturday morning consisted of coffee, and grilled cheese sandwiches over the turkey fryer!

Tom whipped us up some hillbilly sleds, as you will see below. Unfortunately those did not work well, but the neighbor kid had 2 sleds and he was more than happy to share with us! If you have ever been to our house, you know our driveway would be PERFECT for sledding. It did not dissappoint! Tom and I spent hours sledding down the driveway and laughing like little kids!
We built a quick snowman, but didn't spend much time on him and he remained faceless. The sleds just kept calling our names!

Oh, and of course the dogs loved the snow! Maggie always enjoys the snow, and I have been waiting to see what she would do in deep snow. Here are the pictures.....enjoy!

This first picture of Maggie was taken early Friday afternoon. Take note of the amount of snow on the table behind her.

Saturday Morning.

The classic Hillbilly sled! YeeeHaaawww!!!

Maggie must be looking for snow under the deck. Look how deep it is!
We thought we were going to lose this tree. It was leaning..obviously!

Maggie, licking her snow chops. She is a snow eating machine!

Look at the table now! The dogs were hilarious on the deck when they came out and saw how deep it was. Well, once they figured out how to get up there.
All that wood, and no where to burn it. A fire place sure would have come in handy this weekend!
"The biggest snowball ever"
There goes Tom!
My turn!
Maggie looks like she is jumping head first into the snow. Harely was loving it.
Look how deep it is! I just can't get over it. We have never seen this much snow here.
Awww, after sledding snuggle time. Harley is usualy not allowed on the furniture, but I made an exception. How can you resist his sweet little face?? :)

Poor Maggie. She wants to go out back everytime we go near that door. I keep opening the door to show her that the snow is still there. I can't even get the door open it is so deep back there. I thought this picture just summed it up. The snow was fun on Friday, Saturday, and even some of Sunday, but come on, melt already!
