Snowed In

We had some unprecedented snow fall here in Hot Atlanta...ok, I'm sure it has snowed this much at some point in the past here, but not in the 30 years I've been alive and lived here (although technically I was a Floridian for 2 years...you know, back in the day when we had money, no kids, and a house with a pool...and slept 10 hours every night...ok, that was entirely too many ellipses.)

ahem

So in true Southern style, we dumped out our rubbermaid that was holding our wrapping paper and TA DA!...we had a sled.

I sound like a complete redneck, don't I? Don't worry, I'm not. But I do sometimes like to use the word ya'll. It just kind of comes out. I can't help it. And sometimes I like to eat boiled peanuts. Don't hate 'em until you've tried them.

Anyway, enough babbling and onto some photos:

Some random lady walking down the street asked if we wanted our picture taken. It's a rare treat to have both Andrew and me in a picture together.

View from our dining room. You would have thought we lived at a ski resort. People were snowboarding and sledding down the hill in front of our house. It was so much fun to watch!

Ella loved the snow. This was her 465th snow angel. The girl would have slept out there if we had let her.

Yes, I totally threw a snowball in her face. She thought it was hysterical. Don't worry...she got me back!

And I'm working on my photography post. It's going to be simple and user friendly tricks that you can use no matter what type of camera you have. I am really still a beginner (maybe novice?), but I'll share some things I've learned that are easy and will make a HUGE difference in your pictures! I'll also link to some of my favorite locals so you can see where I draw some of my inspiration from!
