Jack Frost

Jack Frost payed us a visit 2 nights ago, in the form of ICE! We have experienced snow for 2 years in a row now, but nothing like what came Sunday night.

As most of you know, the Southeast has been experiencing some pretty unusual weather these last two months. Instead of snow like our neighbors to the north, in Atlanta, we got ice. Lots of it, too! So much that Eric got to stay home a day and a half from work because of it! Woo hoo! What a wonderful treat for Virginia and I. It was so nice to stay home, be warm, and have fun as a family. Virginia loved her Daddy being here to snuggle with her in the mornings, eat lunch together, and play in the afternoons.

We braved the frigid temperatures and ventured out to see what this ice was all about..........(Keep in mind, this was late afternoon. Most of the ice had melted a good bit.)

Eric showed Virginia the icicles on the trucks. She loved rubbing her hands on them!

Earlier in the morning, the driveway and sidewalk were COVERED in ice!

Virginia wanted to walk SO BAD, but we were scared to let her down in a few areas. This part of the sidewalk was safe enough for her to walk on.

So happy to be free and loving the chilly air!

It was definitely a "boots only" kind of day!

See how the pine needles are frozen to the ground. So neat!

This stick was frozen on the bush! Eric tried to get it off the bush, and the stick broke.

All Virginia kept saying when we got back inside was, "sicle." She wanted to go get another sicle to play with!

Hope you and your family are warm and cozy today. More ice is expected tonight and in the morning here. Temperatures will not get out of the 20's tonight. Brrr!
