It's Official! This day (the first snow day) has been declared my children's very favorite day of the year. It may be even possible that I do not see this much excitement on Christmas Day. I actually think we've had snow before this but we were out of town so it didn't count. You should have heard the shrills when it started falling this morning. You can tell we aren't quite ready by our lack of snow gear but they didn't care. Also, I have a new invention...actually it might not be my invention at all. I'm sure I heard it from someone else, so if it's yours, sorry about that. After our freezing cold day, Hot Chocolate was a must! They all love it, but I seem to have a problem getting the temperature right for Wade. I had the idea today to drop a scoop of Peppermint Ice Cream in it instead of ice and it was an instant hit. Try it....Hot Chocolate + Peppermint Ice Cream = Creamy Deliciousness!
We have had such a fantastic summer. It went way too fast and I am very sad to see it go. I am having a slight panic attack today because I'm sending my second one off to school. I am so not ready to be an empty nester. Here are a few of our favorite summer memories...
So many fun nights with our cousins Katelyn and Tate and lots and lots of Fireworks!
Gabe's baptism was on Saturday and what a fun day it was. He has really been looking forward to this and loved his big day. He was so excited that his best friend and cousin Abe was able to come down to see him and got to stay for an extra couple of days. Both of Gabe's grandpas took part in the baptism and we were so happy to have them both there. We had a fun family barbeque after. Thank you so much to all of you who took the time to come.
