Scenes from a Snow Day

We had a lot of ice & snow last winter, so we had a lot of snow days. They are the bane of a Slacker Mom's existence !! Just kidding. (A little.)

So yesterday we had our first snow day of the school year. It was a pretty good day, actually. We made gingerbread cookies...

...the kids went outside and did some sledding...

...I told my husband (a teacher, day off)that this is why we have more than a few kids...so the older ones can help push/pull the younger ones during sledding. (I took a few minutes while they were all outside to actually SIT DOWN and READ the mail. SIT DOWN & READ IT!!)

...Then back inside for some hot chocolate and cookie decorating.

Watch out with that icing decorator!!

Then we rounded out the day with some board/card games and our attempt at the family Christmas card picture.

All in all, it was a great day!

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.--1 Chronicles 16:34
