We heart SNOW!!!

The past few days in NWA have been nothing but snow fun! It started Thursday evening when we got a lot of sleet. It turned into snow Friday & snowed ALL day until the evening. We decided to make our way to my parents house to spend time with them since they live on the lake & had fun hills to sled down!

First, I made pancakes for Chad!

Chad shoveled the driveway in the snow...

We thought it would be too cold to take Ave on a sled in the snow, so we made one & pulled around the house! She loved it!



We made our way to moms house & upon our arrival was fresh hot chocolate! We stayed up Friday night & played games late. We love cards & played Phase 10 for hours. Dad was so funny, but Tiff smoked us all! Go Tiffany!

Saturday we all woke up early & us girls fixed a big breakfast! We had bagels, omlets, toast, sausage, bacon, you name it! We got our play clothes on & us kids played in the snow!

My brother & I "attempting" to sled down their hill...



Dad clearing their driveway of the snow!

Trying to start a snowman:

Over the weekend we took these pictures. My dad took this first one off their back portch & I took the second which I am entering in a winter picture contest. It's amazing the beauty you can capture with the snow...




We had so much fun Friday night we decided to stay the whole weekend! So Saturday night was full of a Mexican fiest & games! My parents invited some of their best friends over to join who live down the street! We enjoyed fajitas & then played some Catch Phrase! It got heated but was a blast! We laughed so much...




Randon picture but we spike Avery's hair at bathtime. I had to show you how cute this is! She just looked to adorable! She turns 8 months old this week.
