Happy Snow Day!

The last couple years, the weather waits until December to really have a good snow. Do I mind? Not at all! But when it does snow, we like to go play in it! Luckily, my dad got me some new snow boots so my feet didn't get wet or cold so it really was a happy snow day!

After the first good snow, we went to Kristi's house in Spanish Fork where they recieved 12 inches of snow! DJ hooked up a big tub sled to his four-wheeler and pulled the kids through the streets, over the the huge piles made by the snow plows. The boys loved it but by the time they came in they were FROZEN! Hyrum was red and Weston had icicles in his hair!


The next week, it snowed again but it was about ten degrees warmer so we spent some time making our Dr. Suess snowman- no, he didn't last very long but he was pretty 'cool'!


I also made a gingerbread house with Kristi. This year, I decided to make it a stable with animals and a manger inside- I think it turned out pretty good! The gingerbread tastes good too so we'll see how long it lasts...

Now I think I'm about set for this next week- Tomorrow is laundry, groceries, and any other job I do all week long. Tuesday is Weston's birthday AND Hyrum's school party I'm in charge of so THAT's a party day! Wednesday is make cookies at Grandma's house, and then Thursday is Christmas Eve and time to relax and enjoy the holiday! I love Christmas!
