Today I'm thankful for....

Snow days!!!!!!!!!

When we looked at the forecast yesterday, it said we might get 1-3 inches of accumulation out of a storm that was supposed to come in overnight.  We went to bed knowing that we (meaning Bryan) should probably plan to get up early and clear the driveway.  Little did we know....

No matter how old we get, when the phone rings at 5:45 to let us know there is a snow day, we celebrate!  So, I laid back down and waited for the kids to wake up so I could tell them to go back to bed.  Once we got up for the day, lets be honest, it was still early when we got up, but we didn't let that get us down.  We played dominoes, made Christmas goodies, baked banana bread, built giant marble mazes...all before lunch!  After lunch the snow stopped, so we ventured outside.  Here is just a small sample of the fun we had: 

Mmm....snow

A very happy home ready for a White Christmas

I hope that wherever you were today, you had an enjoyable day. If you were one of the lucky ones that got a snow day, I hope you took some time to enjoy one of life's great joys...no matter your age!
