The Real Deal!

Ok, Wednesday's little bit of snow seemed great at the time, but we got the better snow on Saturday. Well, we didn't get the snow in Decatur, we had to pack up and head south (what?!?!? - Yes I said head south) to see some snow. Friday night, the forecasters were changing their minds about how much snow we might see in Decatur and after several attempts to convince Alan during the day on Friday that we needed to go to Birmingham to Mary's parent's house, he finally said let's go around 7:00! We quickly packed up our winter gear and hit the road. Well when Gracie and I woke up at 8:00 am on Saturday we were so disappointed that there was no snow on the ground. We went downstairs to get breakfast and much to our delight the white stuff started coming down. After about 2 hours we had maybe a 1/2 inch, but that was enough to get us out there for some play time. We all had fun making baby snowman, eating snow, and having a little snowball fight. Gracie was so much fun to watch "throwing" a snowball. We'd make her a ball and she'd pick her target and come smear it on your pants legs and say "I got you". Too cute!
