Evan has really wanted to make a snowman this year. When we talk to Grandma Saunders on the computer we can see that she has snow at her house and Evan keeps asking me when the snow is going to come to our house.
It doesn't often snow here in Northern Virginia and, when it does, it usually isn't the right kind of snow. If it actually sticks, there isn't enough to really play in. Needless to say, we were very happy to wake up Tuesday to find a winter wonderland.
While Bennet was taking his morning nap, Evan and Mommy bundled up, grabbed our sleigh, and headed outside to make use of the perfect sledding hill we have in our backyard. We made a very friendly snowman in our front yard. He kept falling over, but on the third try we got him stable enough to stay up right.
When it was time to wake Bennet up from his nap, Mommy discovered she had locked herself out of the house. The scariest part of the whole experience was when she discovered how easy it was to break back into the house.
After climbing through an unlocked window and waking up baby Bennet, we decided we weren't done playing in the snow. We bundled him up and brought him outside to do some more sledding.
Spring is finally here! Our polar vortex winter seemed to last forever ruining the Kite day of the Cherry Blossom Festival by first raining then snowing causing it to be canceled. It finally warmed up and this year Uncle Jeff and Aunt Michelle came to visit us from Dayton Ohio to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival with us and see trees in full bloom. Uncle Jeff and michelle wanted to take lots of pictures of the trees so we went Thursday morning and Friday night at sunset. Both days were wonderful. The sun was shining, it was finally warm outside and the trees were beautiful. What a wonderful way to welcome in spring with a beautiful walk around the tidal basin.
