SNOW!

Well, Honey arrived on Monday morning and brought a surprise with her--SNOW! It started snowing on Wednesday night (we were oblivious) and by Thursday morning we awoke to a winter wonderland! It continued snowing all day Thursday and into Friday morning! We have had such a great time playing in it!

Here's Brookelyn on Thursday morning when she first got to go out:
And, B-Man loved it too--he kept trying to catch the flakes:
Honey and Brookelyn set out to make a snowman together:

They did a great job working on it!

And, here is Braedyn getting ready to go out for his second trip--this time with Daddy on Thursday night:

After sledding, which was really Daddy pushing the kids down the hills because the snow was so dry, Daddy set out to build a bigger snowman with Brookelyn! You can see B-man struggling to walk in the background. He looked just like a little bundled marshmallow!
The snowman broke apart, so Braedyn used it as a mountain!
Brookelyn has one huge snowball!
And, here is Daddy with his two little snow angels!
After we came in and warmed up, Mommy made "snow ice cream." We got a big scoop of snow, put in chocolate chips, and covered it with chocolate syrup!
The kids were EXHAUSTED and so were we! We had such a great time in the snow, but we hope it doesn't prevent Sashi from coming in this morning!
