Snowy Monday!

We had 4 inches of snow....in Georgia!!!!   The kids woke to snow and it was like Christmas all over again.  They could hardly handle their excitement and were begging us to please gear up and get outside.  We looked pretty hilarious.  We were layering our kids in pajamas, jeans and whatever else we could find.  We were able to mix and match enough to get everyone covered and out we went.  We didn't even get to have breakfast they were so anxious!!!! 
 (Some of the JeffriesClan in front of the house!)
Jensen was waiting for his turn to get on the inner tube.
 Who can resist this precious face?  Not me!
 Davidson had no problem wearing his sisters hat!
 Johnston loved having Becca's scarf to keep warm!
Becca....I just love her so much!
Holland doing a snow angel.  She did about 100!  She was so excited to make her first snow angels!
 Jameson making even more snow angels.  It was the first thing the kids wanted to do when they got outside.  Snow Angels!!!!!
Jensen making his very first snow angel!
Johnston....playing Star Wars...was in the middle of a death scene.
 Our neighbor got out and shoveled his driveway...as you can see our driveway is still covered in snow.  The kids enjoyed the snow on our driveway.  They might not like it when we send them out in the morning to help clear the driveway.  It was fun though!
 Miss Holly lost her hat after rolling down the hill in the front of our house!
 Becca was the first to try out our inner tube on the hill beside our house.  We were so happy to find this inner tube still out.  We usually pack up our inner tubes with our summer camping stuff.  We go tubing alot. This tube some how didn't make it into the garage, but that's okay...the kids were very happy to have the tube instead of cardboard!
 Tim and all the kids rolled down the hill a few times to pack the snow so the tube would go faster!  It worked very well.  It's a bonus having an engineer as a father I think. 
 Holly kept putting her hat on backwards!
 Jensen about to go down the hill for the first time!  This was his first time sledding ever!  When he got to the bottom of the hill he threw his arms in the air...."THAT WAS AWESOME!"
The kids couldn't get enough of the rolling in the snow...or sliding down the hill on their stomachs or bottoms.  They will sleep good tonight for sure! 
We finally took a break.  Tim and the littles took a nap, some of the middles played outside, the oldies and myself enjoyed yummy hot cocoa and a game of Phase 10!
The middles saw our neighbors outside after dinner so they begged to go play.  Becca had a wee accident.  She went tubing on her stomach....her face stopped her!  All was well...she didn't even cry.

  1. look at all that snow... i can't believe how much it has snowed since I moved away... how fair is that!
    Anyway - I love the pictures of each of the kiddos with little bits of snow on their hair and clothes... Becca looks so grown up... and I had to take a double look because I thought Jensen was Davidson. THey are growing up way to fast.
    I can't wait to see everyone!
    Did Betsy get to go outside? She loves the snow too. She was probably just as excited as the kids were in the morning :-)
    Love you all and miss you lots!
    Love, Aunt Elizabeth
