SNOW 2009

It doesn't snow very often in South Carolina.... so when it does, its BIG fun! I was like a kid this morning when I woke up, immediately looking out the window to see if/how much snow we had. Unfortunately I had to work, but was able to sneak away for an early lunch break to play with the kids in the snow at Grammies. I got hit with several snowballs, my aim isn't very good, so didn't get to return the favor to Will. I threw several, but no luck. Then we built a snowman and dressed him all up. It was so much fun! Wish it would snow a little more often.




Lacie and the snowman!

He was a little small.... but he is cute!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I will try in the year 2009 to post more often, because I know that everyone wants to keep up with my family. HA

Every year moma and Scooter have a New Year "block party," this year was no different. The neighborhood men get up early and cook all day. We have bbq pig, deer and chicken, chicken and rice, beans, slaw, bread, and yummy chocolate cake. I don't have pictures of the preparations(because I was working) but even Cameron was in on the "man duties" this year. When the sun goes down they block off part of the street and the kids go wild. We had a golf cart parade, sparklers and those little "popping" things that you throw on ground to pop. They had such a great time. It was very cold last night, so they had 2 fireplaces burning. And of course they have awesome fireworks. This year they had to do a little before midnight, the kids were tired and cold, but enjoyed themselves! Looking forward to a great 2009 and next years block party!
