TB: Snow

Carys Chase

* Aunt Gabrielle M. Thorne had Jordana and Aric and me get dressed early. Jordana had spent the night and with the fresh blanket of snow outside Aunt Gaby wanted to get some pictures. This was nothing new, Aunt Gaby was always taking pictures and, well Aric and I were often her subjects. I was excited Jordana was here so she could share in the fun, plus Aunt Gaby promised us hot chocolate and cookies when we were done. Outside, Gaby had us run around a little, chase each other around so Jordana and I would have "Rosey cheeks." That made us laugh ans we complied..We'd do anything for her. * Come on Jordi! We can catch Aric!

Jordana Gates-Bishop *giggling, I head after Aric* Come on Carys! *leaning down, I scoop up some snow and make a quick snowball. * Auntie Gabs! We're gonna get Aric!

Aric Chase *he was standing off to the side, looking at the perfect blanket of snow in front of him when he was hit in the back with the first snowball, quickly followed by another* Hey, Jordy! Sissy! Not fair! I'm gonna tell Mom! *as Jordana giggles and bends to scoop up another handful he turns and runs around the corner of the house. Scooping up his own handful he forms it quickly. *I'm gonna git you! Meanie butts!

Carys Chase * Giggling so hard I snort.* You'll never get us you dork! * Jordi and I run around and find Aric, pelting him with snowballs and running back to Aunt Gaby. " Alright, alright..Aric, come on sweetheart, let's take some pictures." Gaby's voice held laughter and as Aric walked over to us, I saw the look in his eyes, I knew what was coming..He got Jordi and me, then brushed the snow from his hands like it was no big deal.*

Jordana Gates-Bishop *laughing as I brush the snow out of my face* You are gonna get it Bub! *Picking up another handful of snow, I hold it in front of me, drawing in a deep breath, and blowing it at him* Auntie Gabs, I wanna be in the picture too!

Aric Chase *Aunt Gabby gave them "the Mom look" and they all stopped, grinning up at her. She shook her head and laughed softly "You are most definitely going to be in the picture Jordana. In fact, you just gave me a great idea." She took us over in front of one of the trees strung with lights and lined us up. Jordy was on one side of me and Sissy was on the other. She had each of us pick up handful of snow and blow it at her over and over until she got the shot she wanted. When she finished we all ran back inside to warm up and have some hot chocolate.*
