Snow Day

Last week we actually had two snow days with cancelled school. We kind of knew it was coming so I headed out to Walmart the night before and bought some things to make a few different cookies! I figured if we are going to be snowed in then let's bake some cookies!

The girls both had a friend over so there was plenty of help to shovel the driveway and bake the cookies, right!!! I think it took me 10.5 hours to get 5 girls dressed to go and play in the snow then I am pretty certain we were only out there for a total of 5 minutes before Makayla decided she was too cold and wanted to come back in. You've got to be kidding me! So needless to say I think it took us longer to get dressed then we actually stayed outside. After we got back in, I made hot chocolate for everyone and then that afternoon we got busy making some cookies. It really was a fun day!

What cute little snowbunnies! Sorry you had to go through all of that for just a few minutes of play. Sydney had lots of fun - thanks for having her over!

Our whole neighborhood has been making cookies as well. What else is there to do during the Snowmageddon?

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later
