RADZ: LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

Roston and Dave

Zoe and Amiee

Cranky babies

Last week they said that we might get snow flurries. I was kind of excited even for snow flurries. I told my friend that I wanted to stay up all night to see if it happens because I like the snow. The last time it snowed in Louisiana was Roston's first Christmas back in 2004. It snowed but did not stick to the ground. In Virginia we always got snow at least once a year. Well Wednesday night I did not sleep well and Dave and I ended up getting up around 5:30 or 6:00 am Thursday morning and for some reason we did not bother to look outside to see if it was snowing, but our friend Rebekah called and Dave's dad, and his mom I think called and told us it was snowing. We looked outside and by then it was coming down hard and it was sticking. So I told Dave lets wake the kids because it could stop and melt and they would have slept right through it. So we got them up around 6ish and they were not happy. But we bundled them all up and went outside. (This was before the sun had come up) Roston did not want to go out in the snow because it kept getting on his face. But we took pictures and they were kind of y and so we went in and had a Johnny Stafford breakfast (So yummy!! Country Ham, Rice, and biscuits.)

Well it kept snowing and around 8am our lights started to flicker. Rebekah called and said turn your heat up just in case we lose power. So we did. By this time the trees were covered with ice and snow. When we went outside you could hear trees ing and falling. Well around 9 am we lost power. The kids and I went out two different times. Dave stayed out the whole time. In the end we ended up not getting our power back on until Sunday Night ,but we got 8 1/2 inches of snow, we got to make a snowman and Roston and Zoe had a fun and Dave had a blast.
