SNOW

What do you do during a snow storm? EAT of course! I'm probably going to gain five pounds by the time we get to leave the house. Most people eat soup and cornbread when it snows, but not at our house. Charlie and Hank requested chocolate chip cookies and fried chicken. I can't stop eating. What's your comfort food? Hank is sitting in the recliner with me while I write this post. He is talking about the picture of the fried chicken, and said, "fried chicken, cheeseburger, french fries" Too bad McDonald's is closed. I guess, I know what Hank's favorite comfort foods are.



Of course, Hank would eat the snow.

Snowball fight!

Uh, Oh! Hank didn't quite understand what a snowball fight was. He quickly got the hang of it.

Charlie's snowballs were mostly ice. Underneath the thick layer of ice was the softest snow.
Charlie tried to sled on a cookie sheet. He kept sinking, but he liked slinging it like a frisbee and watching it slide. Hank enjoyed sledding down the hill on the cookie sheet. Our neighbors were walking by and saw Charlie and Hank playing. Mr. Moore ran home and brought them sleds to play with in the snow. They LOVED it. Here are two video clips.

Christmas

Charlie was the donkey in the retelling of the Christmas story in his pre-k Christmas program.

On Christmas Eve Eve, Mam-ma and Granddaddy came and spent the day with Charlie and Hank in Athens, had a BBQ supper with us, and opened presents. Charlie and Hank love their beanbag punching bags . . . chairs.


The elves were at work again while Charlie went to Augusta with mommy and Hank took a nap.


The elves left such a big mess. What could they have been doing?






Christmas morning breakfast - Hank style. The rest of us had pancakes, bacon, ham, and fruit. Hank saved a little room for fruit and pancakes too!

Gaga, Pappy, Granny, and Brittany came to spend Christmas Eve with us. We all had so much fun. Charlie and Hank loved all of the excitement. We went to Atlanta to spend the rest of Christmas. We enjoyed presents, food, a movie, and SNOW!
