Yay for a snow day! Last weekend we had our first snow of the Winter. It doesn’t snow a great deal here in North Carolina so most of us have the “I’ll believe it when I see it” type of attitude. The snow started falling earlier than expected and we actually received a good amount of snow. In my area we had about 6-8 inches of snow. It began to snow on Friday night and continued through Saturday. Of course everyone wanted it to snow during the week instead…because NO SCHOOL or WORK. The snow didn’t fail us though! It didn’t melt over the weekend because we had below freezing temperatures. All of the snow finally melted yesterday. Take a look at our snowball fight vlog below which has some awesome drone shots of the snow!

If you’re wondering where I bought Simba’s super cute dog coat for the cold weather…I bought it at Five Below! Five Below is seriously becoming one of my favorite stores. I did a Five Below haul a while back so make sure you go HERE and check it out.
We may not get anymore snow this Winter which isn’t unusual for North Carolina. I’m sure the kids would like to see another snow day before the Winter is over. We shall see! I’m fine with getting snow just every now and then. I don’t think I could handle living up north with all of that snow and extreme cold weather!
Snow day!

Looks like so much fun! Henry doesn’t like the snow in his feet, either — but he also HATES boots! We end up compromising with shorter walks. Wish we had an awesome yard to play in! Enjoy!

We very rarely get snow but when we do, it is a major event. Your baby is growing so fast!
Jana Rade says
We got snow almost up to my hips. It’s deeper now than Cookie is tall.

That looks like a lot of fun and your family photos are beautiful! It doesn’t snow where I live, so I’ll have to live vicariously through my friends in colder climates.
Sadie says
You are welcome to visit us in Ontario, Canada for the true North experience! I wish it was still novelty for us humans. The dogs love it. Well, maybe not Miss Reese.

We’ve been having crazy unusual amounts of snow here too. And the city also shuts down. I’m ready for it to melt.

I always wonder how Layla will do in the snow LOL. He looks like he had so much fun
Christine Caplan says
We are always looking for warm coats for the dogs and will check them out! What a cute coat and I was hoping for a snow day as well and we now have had three winter storms since December and the novelty of this last one is wearing off!!
Robin says
I love SImba’s jacket. He is so handsome! Your video turned out great. Your family is gorgeous and I’m glad you had fun in the snow. We typically have an abundance of snow in the winter time up here in Michigan.

I’m from and live in Ohio, so snow is normal. However. I lived in Raleigh for 5 years and I was shocked when we had a dusting and everyone emptied the store shelves when 1″ was in the forecast ! Lol Enjother your snow.

Snow days are the BEST when you’re a kid, and you don’t have the shovel!! It looks like you guys had a blast. It’s starting to snow a lot where I live and I’m already getting tired of it.

We had a dusting of snow in SC that lasted about 1 hours. 30 minutes later, it was gone. I’m rarely prepared for the cold weather.

In Toronto, we get a lot of snow and ice. Kilo the Pug and I actually quite like a few days of white fresh soft snow but everything takes longer and the roads are less safe. We can’t stand ice and freezing rain and windchill- we both prefer summer. I had 3 falls slipping on icy snow banks and paths getting across roads and to my car. Glad you had fun with your snow fall.

We are having a not so snowy winter, but your pictures put me in the mood for a snowball day!~ We did get a little coating, maybe an inch, this weekend, so we took Dex to the park. He loves to play in it and bury his face. Love the jacket on Simba. You have a beautiful family.
Kim says
Looks like you guys had a great day in the snow

During the winter months many indoor animals experience much lower levels of activity than normal. While they are hibernating and sleeping away the winter, make sure not to overfeed your pet and cause weight gain.
