Snow Day

Early in the month of January, we woke up on a Monday morning, to about a good five inches of snow on the ground. The kids were so excited and so was I . As I have mentioned before, everything here in Memphis closes down with even a hint of snow, so on this glorious winter day Hyrum's and Brandon's schools were canceled.
After a wonderful lazy morning, we headed out to a local park to explore the snow. A friend in our ward let us borrow their old sled. The sled worked pretty good and the kids loved riding it down the small hill at the park.I love in this picture how you can see Ben doing a snow angel in the back ground.I loved how the kids(especially Emmy) would drop randomly and do a snow angel in the ground. Hyrum, Ben and Emmy loved scooping up snow by the handful to eat. Of course, the kids loved throwing snowballs at each other and at Brandon and myself. The snow was perfect for making a snowman. In no time at all (maybe 20 minutes at most) we had five snowman. The kids loved helping rolling the large snowballs for the snowmen.Our snowman family.Hyrum made a little hole in his snowman for him to rest his elbow on. It was too cute.The kids loved every minute of playing in the snow and actually lasted a pretty long time before they were too cold to play.
We ended the day with picking up a fun movie from Blockbuster to take home and watch snuggling under blankets and drinking large amounts of hot chocolate.

It was a wonderful winter day for our family.
