Snow Days...

It seemed like we really had a lot of snow this winter...it just kept hanging around!! At least the kids got to go out and enjoy it!!:)

Little Miss...all bundled up!!

the first day that we had snow, it was too cold to be out! We were only out about 20 minutes and the kids were froze!

Hot Chocolate always hits the spot after playing in the snow!!

My kids like to drink their hot chocolate with a straw!

Sledding....

making snow angels...

Kaitlyn & Kendrick made a tunnel right in front of one of the turkey barns were the snow had drifted.....

our little snowman!!

Kaitlyn, Kendrick, Andre, & Austyn...
