Dallas gets 6" of SNOW!

After a few days of ICE and being housebound, last Thursday/Friday we received the mother of all snows! We got an impressive 6" and finally got to get out to PLAY! We started the afternoon by going outside to show Bridgette the snow, pull her and Ayers in the sled, and get some fresh air. Well, that turned into all the neighbors coming out, the adults being pulled in the sled behind Jeff's suburban*, and then happy hour, friendly competitions and dinner at our house! Can I just say once more that I LOVE our street!?!! You should have seen the number of coats, scarves, and boots in the house! It looked like a ski lodge! We had so much fun on that snow day that we're still talking about it! Thanks Jeff for driving us up and down the street a million times and Thanks Mary Nell for making us dinner! The day is best said in pictures, so follow bellow...

*Disclaimer: Acknowledgement by all parties involved that this was not a smart idea. But it sure was fun! :)

Here comes Amy... right before she runs into a parked car!

MaryNell gets ready to ride!


Susan (the Doctor) is off! We made sure to ask her what to do if she crashed! ;)

That is Julie... probably the best wipe-out of the day!

Ayers feeds Bridgette a snack... awww

And the friendly competition begins... first up - the plank!

Next up: Wall Sits

Then a game of "quarters" rounded the evening out.

Ok, competitions of wall sits and plank make this post even better. I want to live on your street!!

This looks so fun! We were a little bummed that our "snow day" never panned out. And, it looks like Bridgette is definitely taking after her very artistic mommy!
