The Weather Outside Is Frightful

We had our first BIG snow storm/winter weather conditions since we moved to Illinois. The news stations had been warning us how crazy the weather was going to get. We woke up early on Thursday morning at Grandma Ann's house.

Charlotte felt that she needed to wear her glasses (well, Grandma Ann's computer room reading glasses.)

We went up to see Ryan at his bakery... Caketastic, LLC. He had just burnt his hand on a cheesecake that sadly ended up on the floor but we were so happy that we could be there to help him clean it up. Charlotte made herself at home and started eating a cupcake :)

The bakery looks beautiful!!

We stopped by the grocery store and got all of our odds and ends that we might need.
We headed home to Grandma's house and waited for the snow. It started around 11 am. Charlotte was excited to see the big snow flakes starting to fall. Katie and Melissa came out to spend the day with us bc their school was cancelled.

They were admiring the beautiful snowflakes...and the cats.
Such a sweet boy...

The big snowflakes were really starting to fall.

A few hours later...

...you can't even see the barn and I was standing in the same spot as two pictures ago.

Charlotte enjoyed some snow in a cup. How excited does she look???

"Snow"

We had our doubts but the weather dudes were pretty right on. No going home for us today!!!

Katie and I went out and shoveled some snow. Then we realized a bunch of ice was supposed to be coming so I covered the driveway back up so that it would be easy to scoop the ice up the next day.

We had a great day of hot chocolate, good food, lots of family, lots of snow, lots of movies... it was a great snow day :)
