Snow Day in Memphis

On Monday, the day after I published my last post about not recieving much snow in Memphis, we woke up to snow! We didn't even know that it was supposed to snow so we were very surprised.

Brandon got the day off of from school, due to all the snow on the ground. The kids were very excited to go outside and play in the snow. The picture below was taken right before Hyrum threw a snowball at me.Of course, since it snowed a decent amount, the kids wanted to make a snowman. Everyone did a great job helping make the snowman(while I took pictures). When I went in the house to look for supplies to help make the face of the snowman, I turned around and saw this. The pictures doesn't do the scene justice. They looked so cute with their faces pressed up against the door waiting for me to come out!Hyrum had a cute idea to make a hat for the snowman. He thought of the idea and created the hat all by himself.
After we finished the snowman, the kids decided to take a roll down our hill. When they reached the bottom of the hill they decided to make snow angels.Brandon came up the great idea to use food coloring and water to make our snowman colorful. The kids thought it was an awesome idea. Ben chose to put yellow on the snowman. Emmy decided to settle for the color red since pink wasn't an option Hyrum choose the color green.The end result.I had hot chocolate and a blanket ready for them to snuggle up in and watch a movie. We had so much fun out in the snow as a family.
