Snow Days

Yes, we were lucky to be blessed with some decent snow on Christmas Day and get a second wind of snow two days later! The kids fully enjoyed some quality playtime in the snow. The day after Christmas, we spent some time out in it and it was freezing cold!!!

I took the kids out a couple of days later and it was much nicer... with snow falling.

They got a kick out of playing on the snowy play set.

 Taryn loved making snow angels... even making them on the kitchen floor after we came inside. :)

Snow balls... or snow chunks? were thrown.

Granddaddy taught the kids how to use a shovel to "sled" down the driveway. Redneck sledding, I suppose.

A Snow Day - Finally!

 Our Oklahoma winter has been very unusual this year - warmer than normal temperatures and literally NO SNOW. This household loves the snow so we were beyond thrilled when we got dumped on Sunday night! It meant school was cancelled and we had the day to enjoy!

Cayson spent the morning sledding and galloping in the snow with Daddy and Granddaddy. He had a blast making snow ice cream... and even more fun eating it!

Taryn had the sniffles and did not get to participate in the outdoor activities so I gave her bowl of faux snow aka shaving cream to play in. She kept insisting on a clean towel to wipe her hands... but by the end, she was gleefully making a mess. Now, if you know me, you probably realize that it pained me to allow this mess. BUT, I was a big girl and let her make a big ole mess. It cleaned up easily!

Thank you, Lord, for the moisture you sent and the beautiful white snow.
