All winter Campbell asked about when the snow would come. She was very concerned when it didn't snow at Christmas. So, Robbie and I planned a special surprise a few days after Christmas. Robbie's grandmother lives near Greenville, which conveniently is on the way to the mountains. So, we packed the girls up and told them we were going to go see her for a Christmas visit. We snuck snowsuits and sleds into the back of the van and covered them up.
The girls really enjoyed the visit with their Grandma Compton. One perfect note: on Christmas Eve, Campbell told us she wanted to ask Santa for a telescope. We let her know that unfortunately, Santa was already in his sleigh making his rounds. It was perfect timing for Grandma Compton to swoop in and save the day with the gift of a telescope! She also gave Maggie a Doc McStuffins doctor's kit that they really enjoyed examining Grandma Compton with!
After having a really sweet visit with Grandma Compton, we piled the girls into the van and pretended to head home. Instead of heading home, though, we headed to the public sledding hill at Beech Mountain for an afternoon of fun! The girls seemed oblivious so about 10 miles away from the sledding hill at Beech Mountain, we told Campbell...you can tell she was very excited!
It was very cold so Maggie and I sledded a couple of times and then warmed up in the van...Campbell and her cold-loving daddy had a blast and went down the hill many times!
Here is a video of Campbell sledding. She loved it although I was very nervous because she went so fast!
The sign of a successful adventure?
It was so much fun and hopefully will be the first of many such snow adventures!
We did finally get some snow in Rock Hill and of course, Campbell especially was so excited!

SOOOO fun! Anna too was asking about snow. We'll have to remember that trick for the future. Question-where did you get Campbells pink pea coat?
It's from Old Navy a couple of years ago...
