Snow Day!

Big happenings on Jan 20 - not only was it Inauguration Day (yay Barack Obama!) but we also received some snow in our neck of the woods. Hey, the approximately 4 inches we received is big happenings in our part of NC - schools AND Ft. Bragg were closed. But of course Derek had to go in for a meeting....won't show you what happened to my car as a result. (Derek is fine.).

Once Derek got home we all went out to attempt to build a snowman...kind of hard when the snow won't stick together. They did make some snowballs and enjoyed a mini-snowball fight. All in all the girls both LOVED playing in the snow and didn't seem fazed by the cold.

Enjoy the pictures!

Getting in to character

Winnie and Ellie love to play dress up in their Disney Princess dresses....we have "Ariel the Mermaid", Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, a Fairy Princess, Jasmin, Sleeping Beauty and Tinker Bell. I think that about covers it. And when they dress up, Winnie really gets in to character. She refers to herself and Ellie as whatever character they are dressed as. But today she took it a step further....as she was dressed in her Belle outfit, she started calling Derek "Beast". All day. Anytime she needed him she'd start calling out for Beast, Beast. And good sport that he was, he went along with it. And it was just a coincidence that Derek had on a Bruins jersey with a big B on the front.
