Winter Fun & Snow Days

Hello!  Yes, we are still here.  The past few weeks have been super busy with the holidays, visiting family, and then getting back to our normal routine after the holiday.  I do hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  We were able to be home on Christmas day and just have a relaxing day playing with all of our new toys.  :)  On New Year's Eve Roy and I went out with my brother and sister-in-law to the casino in Anderson and had a good time. Still in bed by 12:30am.  That's my kind of party.  I love my sleep too much.  Way too much sometimes. 

On New Year's day I had the privilege of making a Sweet 16 cake for my best friends daughter, Taylor.  I have known Taylor since the day she was born and I was so happy to celebrate this milestone with her. 

The weather here has been quite snowy here which means cancelled school days.  The girls love it and so do I, but by the second day I am ready for our routine to get back to normal.  This week we had two snow days.  The girls begged me to play out in the snow (not my favorite thing to do - I have no boots either) so after 20 minutes of putting on all of our gear, we hit the snow. 

They didn't last very long outside, maybe 30-40 minutes.  They had fun and that's all that mattered.  They received two snowball makers and a brick maker for Christmas from their aunt.  They had a blast with those.  Too bad they were too fast with the snowballs, I couldn't get any pictures.   Maybe next time.
