we had an actual, for real, snow day!!!  like real snow!  not ice or sleet or some flurries.  the real stuff!!!  it has been a very long time since we've gotten this much snow!  so long, in fact, that our kids weren't even sure how to play in it.  but, that didn't stop them from having fun!  they both came in soaking wet (because we don't have actual snow gear and because they were rolling around in the snow like they were at the beach or something).  they loved it and never complained about the cold!  they even went back out in it later in the day.  it was perfect!

frozen fun on the farm

we celebrated a fun friend's birthday with anna, elsa, and olaf on a farm.


they took sleigh rides and sang along with the frozen sisters while olaf watched from the side.


4 little ducks waddled around the farm.


the kids loved feeding the sheep and goats!



carter man's favorite part was the train ride!


oh.  and john fed a deer.

she's a rocker

 Grace went to her very first concert, The Rock and Worship Roadshow, with Beth, Lily, and me.  The girls were super excited!!!  We went to see Jamie Grace, but unfortunately, she was sick and wasn't performing that night.  After a bit of disappointment, we had a great time!


Matt Maher was so good.  He was no Jamie Grace, but we still enjoyed him.


Grace was so fun to hang out with.  I loved just watching her!


My favorite of the night was definitely Crowder!
LOVE!  LOVE!  LOVE!


Grace told me that the music makes her feel like she just wants to jump up and down.


And, that she did!  Especially, when Tedashii hit the stage.  That girl was getting' down!


We had a super fun night, but we had to leave early because it started sleeting.  By the time we got home, our car was covered in ice and school was already canceled for the next day!  I'm pretty sure that won't be her last concert because that girl is a rocker.  Ha!

brrr!!!

Sunday night, we put our pjs on backwards, flushed ice down the potty, and did a snow dance.


We woke up to this...sleet.  The ice and freezing temps kept us out of school for the next three days.  We went to school one day and stayed home again today because of more freezing rain.


We've spent a lot of time together.  All four of us.


We've had some fun times and some times of insanity.


We played inside and outside. 


There were "snowball" fights.


There were tears.


Lots of icicles have been eaten.


And, just as much hot chocolate has been sipped.


We've stayed warm except, when we weren't.


There has been a ton of dirty clothes and dishes too.


Art lessons were had.


Sledding down icy driveways were a favorite.


Pizza pans for sleds worked fabulously.


Some people busted.


Some people didn't mind slipping and falling.


We played hard.


We also read the entire internet and played on our kindles way too much.


We watched movies and ate lots of food.


We redesigned the entire kitchen, but only in our imaginations.


We stayed in our pjs most of the days.


We are thankful for these cold, winter days that we get to spend together, but...it may be time to go back to school.
