Pictures from our snow day!

Getting Joseph ready to go out, if only he knew what he was in for!

The girls venturing out on their own, staying close to the house where the snow wasn't too deep.

It took forever just to get all of us over by the tree to take this picture and still the wind was blowing so hard both Joseph and Olivia went down! Check out Joseph's wink.

Back inside warming up with a nice mug of special hot chocolate from Papa.

Joseph warming up by the fire.

That night the girls had their first bowl of snow ice cream, a favorite from my childhood, the girls loved it and had a blast making it!

It really was fun having a snow day with the kids. This was Eileen's first official and I have to say she was disappointed that she couldn't go to school but felt better when she realized that NOBODY was going to school not even the big kids at the school across the street. Even with all of the shoveling we did have fun playing in the snow, collecting snow for our "special treat", hot chocolate, a fire in the fireplace and spending the whole day focused on one another rather than what we had to get done or get to since there was no where else to go and no one else to be with. This was the most important time, the kids were the most important people and being together was the most important thing (thank you Nana and Papa for The Three Questions).
