Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

We have had a blast with all the snow we have gotten this winter! It has been a long time since we have gotten a good snow where we could actually play and sled...well, it was worth the wait! The boys were ready to start sledding before the ground was even covered! They came in for a hot chocolate break and a nap while the snow continued. A little later in the afternoon it had started accumulating and we ended up inviting some friends from church over to sled on the big hill in our backyard. We had such a fun night sledding, eating pizza, playing games and enjoying the beautiful snow! As everyone was preparing to head home, we realized that it had really gotten pretty deep...and by the next morning, our yard looked like this... Everything shuts down around here with 6-8 inches of snow, so we ended up having 2 more days of fun sledding, playing games, eating good food and just slowing down enough to spend time together. Kenny and Becky even made some yummy snow cream!I am so grateful to God for the fun, relaxing break...I just couldn't help but praise Him for His beautiful creation and the gift of friendship and my wonderful family! I truly felt overwhelmed by His blessings!
