Snow Day

Yesterday we woke up to a couple inches of snow and the announcement every kid loves to hear "no school"!! Rocky's district also cancelled school for the day so the whole family was home. It was a nice surprise and we enjoyed having an extended weekend. After breakfast the kids bundled up and headed out for some fun in the powder. Amelia wasn't so sure about it while she was watching out the window but once she got playing in it she loved it. She calls it "ho ho" as everything representing Christmas and winter is "ho ho."

Sunday night my parents and Uncle Ry and Auntie Kristen joined us for the afternoon and dinner. We had a fun visit and it was great to catch up. The kids just can't get enough of their auntie and uncle. After dinner we all just sat around the table visiting...throwing out baby names, making paper airplanes and Maggie did some beautiful hairdos on Auntie. If only I had some pics to post! I love Sunday dinner with the family and I know these are the memories our kids will cherish.

Here's some pics from yesterday. I wish I had some of Sam....he took off with the neighborhood gang before I could get the camera out.

How fun! I saw that school was closed last Monday, and figured E-town probably got a decent dusting of snow, and soooo wished we could play hooky and come join in the snowy fun.

We can't get enough of those monkeys either... Sad to miss out on the fun yesterday, but it sounds like Uncle Ry had enough fun for the both of us with all the kids! Can't wait for our next impromptu family dinner... I love those too! Miss you!
