Our Biggest Snow Yet! 2011

Our first big snow of 2011 and it is sooo pretty!!! The kids were out of school today, and I won't be surprised if they are out again tomorrow either, and I must say I LOVE snow days as much as them. It seems as though it is the only time in life when life just stops for a while. We are able to stay home from school, Mike can usually work a shorter day and if it's a day I don't work then it's perfect. That day is today. We have all been home with no school, dance, work or any other place we HAVE to be and it is great!

After sleeping in we all woke up to a nice big and hot breakfast by Chef Mike, and then not too long after that, began the bundling up process. It takes a while to get everyone bundled up at the same time so that no one is left being all bundled up waiting and soon burning up while the others get ready. Finally, we all made it outside and headed over to the "hill" behind our neighbor's house. We do not have a sled so Mike rigged up our old plastic pool. When we got to the hill, there were lots of neighbors and kids and they were nice enough to share their sleds and they had fun with the pool too. It was so much fun!!! All of us had a blast, but we knew it was time to come in when Landon and Addi could barely walk themselves back up the sledding hill to go down again. So, we bid farewell, took our pool, and headed home for a warm lunch of left over pizza.

Now, we'll just hang out and enjoy being nice and warm all together (missing our Johnny Boy, of course) for the rest of the day, all the while, realizing how blessed we are!

Some of our snow fun......

Looks like a really fun day. I like how you said, its like how time stops and responsibilities go away for the day. So nice, this is one of those days your kids will remember when they grow up I bet. I know you missed John being there. I love that pic of MIke and Andi together. You look cute in your snow gear,
