Snow Day

As a tribute post to the snow we were SUPPOSED to get thise past weekend but DIDN'T. (They were projecting AT LEAST 6-12 inches...we got NOTHING to about a sneezes-worth.) I was okay with it because we had planned Elise's party for the weekend. Chris was pretty disappointed. We just don't get anything close to what he got growing up back East in NH.

A few weeks ago we had a decent snow, just a few inches, but enough to be worth it to get bundled up and toss a bit around. Chris agreed to take the kids out while I stayed inside, resting a sore back. I didn't feel too bad, he grew up with lots and lots of the white stuff. We really haven't had much snow this year.

Ava made a snow angel...can you see it??


So then Daddy helped Elise make one too. I did bare the cold (coatless because I'm lazy), to take a few pictures to document the moment of course.
They had lots of fun and had hot chocolate when they came in - which for them was more like lukewarm chocolate milk - but Ava said, "This is delicious!"

LOL Lori,
Tell Chris to come visit us in MA! We had a 4 to 5 foot snow bank on the side of our driveway for over 2 months. I had to step into hip high snow to rescue Russell who fell down a snowbank and under our stairs too. I was in ankle high snow boots and bare legs with a knee length dress on.... So I miss the light snow we would get in KS lol.

I love that picture of Ava at the bottom of the post. Darling in her brown coat! Now that I've lived in Texas for a while, it's really hard to imagine snow...I kind of miss it. My kids certainly do.
