Snow Days

We have certainly had our fair share of winter this year!  This is Joshua's 4th snow day from school and it looks like there may be another on Monday.  Well, what can you do but enjoy it & make the most of it. There has been plenty of inside time building with Legos, watching movies, making forts out of the couch cushions and all the blankets in the house and of course drinking hot chocolate.  We've also had a great time playing in the snow.  The first snow fell on Christmas Eve.  It was beautiful to wake up to a white Christmas!  Here's a few pics of the boys playing with Daddy over the Christmas holiday.

Yesterday we got another 8.5 inches of snow.  I think they said on the news that this was the biggest snowfall in one day since 1982.  

My sweet husband shoveled our driveway before he went in to work.

The boys and I stayed inside most of the day just hanging out and making some crafts.

For some reason Joshua wanted to wear my knitted blue hat.  Don't you just love the flower!

Later in the afternoon we headed outside.  The sun was shining and the snow was perfectly powdery.  Not so great for building snowmen but still fun to play in.

A nice warm bath was a perfect ending to such a chilly day!  

Thank you Lord for the beautiful snow & thank you that we have a warm house to retreat to.
