Winter is Still Here!

Wow! We sure did get some snow over the last 24 hours. My personal belief is that if it is going to be cold and wintery it might as well snow and be pretty. It really made me think that I should be getting all my gear out to go skiing. It would be perfect skiing weather. Ryan is flying home today from a week long trip to Louisiana and I'm really hoping that the weather doesn't affect his travels. (As of right now they have just landed in Detroit. One more flight and they will be home. Yipee!) Since we had all this nice snow it seemed a shame not to play in it at least a little. This was Chelsea's first time really playing in the snow. I'm not sure she is a fan quite yet. She seemed a little annoyed at her mittens, snow pants and anything else that hindered her movement! She did a good share of fussing but didn't want to come in either. I kind of felt like I was living in the olden days as we pulled the sled to the end of the driveway to get the mail! Here we are in all our winter fun!

Princess Party

Audrey was so excited to attend her first ever princess party. I had considered telling her we weren't going because the snow was sure flying. But she was so excited I'm sure there would have been gallons of tears shed! So shortly after Cierra and Taelor arrived we headed out. Here are the three of them before we left.

After an hour or so of getting all fixed up, eating snacks, and making a crown, Miss Keelie who headed up the party annonced that the inflatables were up in the gym if any of the princesses would like to jump. Five minutes of jumping and you would never have known they were at a princess party. Hair was a crazy mess, holes in dresses, and nail polish mostly removed. We should have taken an after picture but I was curious to get home and see if I could make it up our drive with the van. See next post on the snowy fun!
