Walking in a Winter Wonderland

If you haven't already heard, we got a monster of a snow storm over the weekend. It started snowing around 9 0r 10 Friday night and it snowed heavily until at least around 7 pm Saturday. It's supposed to continue on and off into Sunday morning. This is the worst snow the DC area has experienced in years!!! National Airport, which we live next door to, received 16.5 inches of snow in just one day - it's the largest one day snow fall recorded ever at the airport!

We would have been very excited even if it were just Lane and me, but we had visitors in town to enjoy the snow with, including Christianne from Arizona who has never seen so much snow in her life! And for the record, neither have I. We were up to our knees in snow.

Christianne was over the MOON excited. She not only bundled up and went downstairs to play in the snow THREE different times today, but she kept going out onto the balcony to stomp in the snow, check out the scenery, and even make a mini-snowman!

When all six of us went outside, we jumped in the snow, made snow angels and threw a few snow balls at each other. We were planning on making a snowman, but the snow was too powdery and dry for a snowman. Hopefully conditions will improve tomorrow.
