We had a great time playing in the snow. We got about 6 inches. It was enough to shut down our area for the most part, which is a good excuse to stay home and play. We spent some time on the golf course behind our complex, which had a great hill with about 100 yards of downhill slope. People were sledding on everything from turtle sandbox lids to inflated air mattresses. We stuck to our little round disc. Mainly we stayed in the front yard. The little hills were perfect for us, and less work for mommy to climb up and down. :)
Snow Angels!
Selah and Mommy sledding down the hill by the apartment. Too fun! It was our first time.
Charis enjoyed eating snow, making snow angels and sledding!
Charis in action!
No church tomorrow. We can't get the Jeep out of the ice right now, and the two wheel drive wouldn't handle the icy slope to get out of the neighborhood anyway. Inforced isolation is a good thing for a short time! :)
Selah and Eden had their own personal hunt after naptime. It was fun to watch them discover the eggs and really get into the fun. They shared and didn't seem concerned about the prizes inside. It was all in the journey :-)
Charis had Grace as her personal egg-hunting partner. Charis shared some of her bountiful chocolate with Grace once they sat down to open them up. All the kids shared and had a great time searching. With nearly 50 people, it was a beautiful day with sunshine, lots of food, and we enjoyed staying outside all afternoon to fellowship with our wonderful neighbors. It was awesome to hear how God had worked in lives so faithfully and to catch up on prayer needs as we visited with families from Africa and China and missionaries to the Middle East who are preparing to return there within a few months. What a fantastic way to spend Resurrection Sunday.
Charis was more timid than Selah about sticking her hand too close to Rusty and JW, the horses. Those big horsey lips have a long reach when a cookie is in sight.
We had such a great time visiting Georgia after 8 months in N.C. We were hoping for warmth and sunshine but even the surprising cool weather and rain didn't stop us from enjoying visiting with grandparents and great grandparents. It was so relaxing, and I know I slept better than I had in weeks. 
It's hard to say who enjoyed feeding the horses oatmeal cookies more - Paw-paw or Selah. She was into it, regardless of the horse slobber or chilly wind.
