Snow! (sort of)

Like a large chunk of the country, we are experiencing a severe winter storm. The kids are disappointed that we aren't getting tons of snow, but let's be realistic -- most years here go by without even a snowflake. So they were thrilled to wake up this morning to see our driveway and street covered in white!

It's actually sleet, not snow. And I'm glad, because we were supposed to get freezing rain, and sleet is much less dangerous than freezing rain. But it's just snow-adjacent enough that we could go out and enjoy it for a bit!

And my personal favorite picture, after Sweet Pea attempted to push CC on the sled:

Once we were done outside, Sweet Pea decided to try a pull-apart garlic bread recipe. It was delicious. She's very proud of herself! As long as we have power, I feel strongly that there's more baking in our immediate future.

Now we just have to pray to keep our power. We have batteries, flashlights, canned goods, plenty of water and lots of blankets. Fingers crossed ...
