We had the most amazing snow day ever! School was delayed the night before so we knew we could sleep in a little but of course we were up at 6:40 getting dressed as we looked outside and there was a dusting of snow on the ground with more falling. We played outside jumping on our trampoline, throwing snow balls, making snow angles, and playing on our swing set for a hour or so before we decided to head in for breakfast. As soon as breakfast was over we headed back out and walked down to AlexAnn’s house to play there with them. Once everyone was nice and chilled we grabbed hot coco from our house and took it down since all the kids were nice and warm in their house already. After we warmed up Leia and Ivy were ready to go back and play some more but the other kiddos were not so we walked back towards our house and asked Emma and Maddie to join us. they came out and our epic snow ball fight with the Comfort and Faulkners began. Chris got the brunt of it until Julie and Lisa decided to jump and they took full advantage of us pinned in while we were just wanting to have a little fun like the kids. Leia and Ivy had ventured over to the Stewarts while we were battling it out and found a fun hill to sled down. Leia got chilled and headed in to warm up while Lisa and Ivy stayed out to play with Mallie and take to Mr Sean. Hungry drove us inside more than the cold. The girls requested breakfast for lunch so we had eggs, bacon, and pancakes before heading back outside again. Everyone else still was in so we sled just the three of us before we went to the vacant house and used their snow to make a big snowman. Leia got concerned we were not suppose to be using their snow so she would not help mommy and Ivy but we were happy with our final result. AlexAnn came down to play shortly after that then we walked down to AlexAnn’s house and helped build another snowman. This snowman was a big one! Lisa came up with putting the middle ball on a board to lift is since it was falling apart when we tried lifting it and using spray paint for buttons. During the lifting sweet Ivy was injured so she would not come back to see the final product or get a picture; she snuggled inside with Holly’s mom. The snowman ended up being 5′-7″ tall, unsure about the weight but it was heavy. Chris walked down to join us as we were completing it and we ended up in a snowball fight with the Talley’s and Pricket’s. There is a theme, if Chris is out there was a snowball fight. We went into the Talley’s to warm up and Chris to look at their internet range then headed back to our house for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and treat time. Great day and evening of family time and fellowship with neighbors.  <\/p>\n

We woke up to a little dusting and fresh snow falling
\n \"\"
\n<\/a>Of course we headed straight out as soon we woke and could get on warm clothes
\nFirst stop, trampoline to jump in the snow! 
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> 
\nMommy got on to jump too \ud83d\ude42
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n Fun to slide in the snow too
\n\"\" \"\"
\n<\/a>The snow was coming down good while we were out so the girls tried to catch the falling snow on their tongues  
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n\"\"
\nThe house looked pretty in the snow
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>The snow sticks better to plastic toys 
\n \"\"
\nDaddy came out to join us after he got dressed and ready too
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>\"\" \"\"
\nOur first snowman of the day and daddy enjoying watching his 3 girls run around in the snow
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\nThe girls stayed out in our new backyard a few minutes when mommy headed in to start cooking breakfast and we sit out bowls so we could make snow cream
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n<\/a>Mommy was not done cooking when the girlies cam in to warm up and dream there’d be enough snow to sled while daddy sat on the front porch watching the snow fall
\n\"\"
\n<\/a> \"\"
\nWarming\/drying the winter gear 
\n\"\"
\nAfter breakfast we headed back outside and the ground had a lot more snow\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Hey mom can we swing in the snow? 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/a>We heard a sweet neighbor who we’d texted come out and walked down to visit the Talley’s \"\"<\/a>
\n<\/a>Leia slid down to clear the snow
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>then Leia cleaned it off so AlexAnn and Ivy would slid
\n\"\"<\/a> 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\" 
\nSweet girls! 
\n\"\"<\/a>  
\nSnow ball fight
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>  \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\" \"\"
\nLisa’s second snow man of the day … the girls asked to make it but they did not want to roll snowballs
\n\"\" \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"
\nInstead they were making snow angles
\n\"\" \"\"
\nWe headed in to warm up  
\n \"\"<\/a>
\nThankful Chris brought hot chocolate down for the kiddos from our house
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> 
\nAnd a quick snack to energize then the Comfort girls were back out playing in the winter wonder land 
\n\"\"
\n \"\"<\/a> 
\nWe tried sledding at our house but it really did not work
\n\"\" 
\nSo mommy drug them one at a time on the sled
\n\"\" \"\"<\/a>  
\nLeia walked next door to see if Emma and Maddie could come out and play
\n \"\"
\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nWhich turned into a snowball fight when Chris came out to join us again\"\" \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"
\nIvy escaped the snow balls but wanted us to throw them at her as she stood in the window
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nChris was trying to get in trouble throwing snow at Lisa \ud83d\ude09
\n\"\"<\/a>    
\nOur winter wonderland
\n\"\" 
\nJon and Julie joined in the snowball fight
\n\"\"<\/a>  
\nIvy came back out to join in on the fun and loved that our neighbors, Katie and Sean ventured down to see what in the world was going on during our snowball war
\n\"\" \"\"  
\nI think the girls won
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\n\"\"
\nDuring the snow ball fight Leia and Ivy ventured over to Livy and Mallie’s house and found a fun hill to sled down
\n \"\"<\/a>     
\n\"\" \"\"<\/a>   
\nSnow angle fun with Ivy after Leia followed Chris inside\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen Lisa came in she found Chris snuggled up watching Hallmark without us; he is a closet Hallmark movie watcher and only says he watches them just for his girls. Of course Lisa wanted to see how much snow we had even though another half a inch was falling  
\n \"\" \"\"  
\nAfter the girls warmed up Lisa took them back outside to sled some more and take a picture with our neighbor’s snowman
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"
\n\"\" \"\"<\/a>  
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>     
\nAll the girls started on the third snowman but Leia got concerned we were using the vacant house’s snow and abandoed us before the first ball was rolled so Lisa and Ivy finished it
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"\"\"<\/a>  
\nHowever, Leia ventured down to the Talley’s and was helping Jack with a big snow ball 
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> 
\nSweet Ivy need up snuggling with Mrs Holly’s mom while we finished the big snowman after she ran into the board we were using to lift the snowballs up 
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSnowman turned into a group effort to build a 5’`7″ tall snowman and lift the snowballs up
\n \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>  \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nLove in the winter wonderland
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"
\nThankful for these great neighbors
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThat evening we all ventured back to our house for coffee, hot chocolate, treats, and snow cream 
\n\"\"<\/a>  <\/p>\n

Saturday, Ivy was ready to enjoy the snow again!
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nSweet Leia just wanted to chill inside. Ivy was adaptable and played inside too. 
\n\"\" \"\"
\nSince the roads were clear we had a family dinner that evening at the house complete with a show by some of the little princesses
