Snow Day #4

Yeah! I could finally put on these and actually go play in the snow. Since the temperature yesterday was @25* and the sun was out we decided to see if the consistency of the snow had changed enough to really play. To our delight it had, (well at least in the sunny spots), I do not know who was more excited me or the girls to be able to finally have a snowball fight and build a snowman.

Of course none of the fun could start with out a picture first. Then it was time for the real fun to begin. We spent the rest of our time outside running and gathering snow from the sunny spots for our snowman, making snow angels and having snowball fights. I was so glad that Cary was home to make the snowman with us this time. The girls have had so much fun with daddy home the past few days and I have too. It is going to feel very weird to go back to our regular schedule.

Here are all my hard workers placing snow on our snowman. Don't worry I help too, just taking a break for photos.

Here is Campbell running to gather a handful of snow to help daddy out.

Kaylee stopping for a quick picture.

The whole family with our snow princess. In the end the girls decided our snowman needed to be a Snow Princess. Poor Cary cannot catch a break around our house;-)

After all our hard work we ventured out of the house for a quick trip to Chili's, Target and to get more firewood. It was so nice to get out but when the time came to return home I was ready for the nice warm fire and more family time.

Thank you Lord for the past few days of time as a family. In our busy world it is nice to be reminded that a Time Out can be a wonderful thing. We will have such magical memories of the Blizzard of 2011 and it made for a wonderful Birthday Week too.
