Snow Days

 We were lucky enough to have another day of snow before spring arrived. My girls and I have a deep love for winter and look forward to a day or two off every year to just have fun in the snow and enjoy slowing down life for a little bit.
 Unfortunately, the snow was too dry to build a big snowman/woman or even have a good snowball fight but that did not keep us from trying.

 The ice and snow made the slide a lot of fun.
 Even Oliver got in on the action for a little bit, he does not love winter as much as the rest of us though.

 Even Dad came home a little early to play in the snow with his favorite girls.

 Our sad little snow girl...maybe next year we will get more and it will be better to pack with.

All in all we had a wonderful time playing in the snow, with family movie time, snuggling up on the couch, making snow ice cream, drinking hot chocolate, and just being together. I think all these reasons are why I love winter so much. You just cannot put a value on the memories we will all have of from the days Mr. Winter decides to bless us with a white blanket of beauty and a little frozen time. Thank you Lord for winter and the blessing of family.

So this is Forty!

Well this is what 40 looks like! I spent my birthday with my family and parents going to dinner at Perini Steakhouse and getting some beautiful gifts. It was just what I wanted. Not a lot of fuss just a silent but fun entry into my forties. Of course, all of my precious friends spoiled me all week long with sweet cards, lovely gifts, lunches, coffee dates, and just their presence in my life. Lots of love and laughter included. I am one blessed girl!
