Long Weekend in February

The girls had a 4 day weekend again in February. Chris was not wild about the idea of going skiing and getting on a plane so we did not plan a trip and opted to enjoy a low key weekend at home and hoped for snow although did not really expect any. Thankfully we were pleasantly surprised to have the 4 day weekend extended to 5 days because of an ice storm hitting part of the state then we work up to snow on the extra day too. God answered our prayers for snow with a white covered ground on our extra day off from the weekend. Blessed!  

Thursday night, the Comfort ladies went to spend the night with Mimi since Chris had to work on Friday. We enjoyed our girls night in playing Spinner, snuggling by the fire, and spending precious time together


Saturday morning was more of the same but the girls requested a trip to Target to buy each other’s Valentines mid morning so of course we obliged them and enjoyed the sweet time together

Yum yum breakfast made to order

They could not stand it and created a scavenger hunt to exchange part of the Valentine gift they bought for each other

We headed back home that afternoon to see daddy, let the girls play with their new gifts, and do much of the same hanging out at home playing games the remaining evening

Saturday we had morning snuggles

What a fun, relaxing day then we had dinner and game night with the Talley’s to top it off

Sunday was Valentine Day. This year we stayed home the whole day. We enjoyed homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast, sweet family time through out the day, played games, fellowshipped together, daddy grilled steaks and lobsters for dinner, and exchanged sweet little valentines. It was not a busy day for us but was a sweet day since we all were together and able to chill out. 
 


Monday morning the sweet girls snuggled in the bed with mommy until she started working then we had a low key day at home since we were on a ice storm watch although we wanted to go to Top Golf  but cancelled the rsvp so we would not get stuck in a ice storm

Schools were cancelling all around us throughout the day. The little ladies celebrated when Vestavia finally sent out their notice that they were closing Tuesday for the weather too for a extra day of the break
  
Monday we waited all day for ice and hoping for snow. Finally that evening we looked outside and saw snowflakes so the kids headed outside to enjoy what we figured would be short lived
 

Warmed up with hot chocolate on a night that is was colder in Alabama than in Anchorage, Alaska. 

Alex spent the night to add to the fun of a weather day out of school

Tuesday morning, Leia let everyone know that it was white outside and still SNOWING. Loved this unexpected blessing and faith builder! You see we prayed for snow even though there was not suppose to be any forecasted and God answered this little request with a blanket of white snow and falling snow until lunch time. Love seeing their excitement and having fun with them in it



Heading outside to enjoy our little winter wonderland


Fun in the snow with our girls … sad that the snow day daddy still had to work since we work form home now

It was not all fun today. One of the trees fell at a neighbors but they were thankful a tree company could some out to get it removed today … then the fun abruptly ended when there was a sledding mishap ending in a chest and chin scrapped up but we did enjoy the morning out playing
