Snow Day

Making tracks...

Caleb all bundled up!

So excited about the snow!

My little snow bunny!

There is nothing better than getting a phone call at 4:30AM!!! Okay, well the phone call at 4:30AM usually would tick me off, I hate being woke up....UNLESS it is a phone call telling us that it is a SNOW DAY!!! Today, we got just that! A wonderful, glorious SNOW DAY!! It is very rare for this part of Idaho. We don't tend to get a lot of snow, so it is ALWAYS excited to get a snow day!

Our day was a lot of fun! We slept in until about 8:30AM. Then we just took our time doing everything! With no place to go...that is what we do! It was still snowing a lot when we woke up. I made the family pancakes, a favorite around here. Then we all got dressed.

We enjoyed snuggling and watching Christmas cartoons most of the morning. Then before lunch, we decided that we better go outside and shovel/play in the snow! Caleb and Emma were so thrilled!

The snow was very heavy and wet! Rick and I took turns shoveling. I even shoveled the neighors sidewalk to our joint mail boxes.

Caleb and Emma made trails through the snow, climbed on the piles that Rick and I made with the shovels, threw snowballs and got themselves stuck in all kinds of spots! Ha! It was so much fun! And of course, this mommy had the camera ready!

After we played outside, for over an hour, we went inside and I made Wild Rice and Turkey soup with grilled cheese sandwiches! There is nothing better on a cold snow day than soup!!! YUM!!!

We all took naps after lunch! And were lazy around the house the rest of the day! It was such a great day! I wish we had more snow days so I could just be with my family!
