The First Snow.

This was a snow of many firsts! First snow of 2009, first of our time back in Hickory, Ferns first snow, and Charlotte's first! It was a big time in the Baker household! We had heard tales that the snow may be coming... but you never know these days. So, we waited and watched... and Monday night we saw the first flakes! We didn't know what would stick around until morning, so we took Charlotte outside to see it just in case. She saw the flakes in the streetlight beam and said, "Bubbles?" Close enough.

Then off to bed with the little one... but we stayed up to watch the snow fall like giddy little kids! We awoke to a beautiful scene!


We had a few inches... enough to cover the ground and trees - and give us the day off work! MM's office was closed and Wes worked from home, so we decided to play in the snow a bit, then hole up in the house, watch the Inauguration and veg out! What a great family day!



Charlotte didn't quite know what to think about it. She liked crunching her feet on the sidewalk after having walked in the snow... and she liked watching Fern romp around in it. But, I think she was concerned with her mix-matched outfit. Who wouldn't be? Sorry Charlotte! Mommy and Daddy haven't been back in "NC mode" long enough to purchase a "snow outfit"! But, we made it work! A fun day had by all!
