Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day!

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day and hope you did too!

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!

Kristine and Madison Come to Visit

We were so excited for Madison and Kristine to come visit! Last time they tried to come Brookelyn came down with the swine flu, so we have been anticipating their visit for a while. We had such a great time together! The kids played themselves exhausted every day, but some highlights included the playplace at Chik-fil-A, makeovers for the girls at Sweet and Sassy, shopping, and running around the house like wild animals! We can't wait to get everyone together again soon!

Here is a short slide-show of some of our fun:
