Snow Day #2 in 2014

We hardly ever have one snow day a month, much less 2!  The kids were excited that snow was coming again.  Last night we played games as we waited for the snow to arrive.
 
Playing the game Cootie 
Daddy and Caleb worked on his new puzzle
Caleb was excited to finally get it finished
 
The kids went to bed a little disappointed that we didn't have much accumulation.

But we woke up to over 5 inches!
We got up early, ate breakfast and were outside playing by 8:30 this morning.
Here the kids are all bundled up and ready to play!
Riding on the sled
Having fun outside
Ella riding the sled - she was so bundled up she could hardly move!
Me and my girl in the snow
 
The kids didn't last long playing - they were cold and wanted snow cream.
 
So we came in to warm up and make snow cream!

Caleb loves it!

And Ella sure enjoyed hers too!
 
We stayed in a little while and played some more games.
 
Corey was ready to go somewhere and Abbie had invited us to go sledding so we headed over. 
The roads were pretty bad and it took us almost an hour to get there but it was worth the drive!
We had so much fun playing in the snow and sledding!

Caleb and Mattox 
Tucker, Madi Grace, and Ella

 All loaded up and ready to go to the big hill
Caleb and Mattox went first! 
All the boys coming back up the hill 
Then it was the girls turn - they don't look so sure!

 Caleb and Ella went down together and Ella wouldn't open her eyes for the picture - little stinker!
Ella walked back up that hill about 100 times.  When you asked her if she wanted you to carry her she would respond "I got it!"
The boys coming back up to go again! 
The boys had alot of fun sledding! 
Abbie and Madi on the hill watching
Me and Corey with the girls 
 
We took a short break for lunch and then headed back out for some more fun!
Ella wanted to wear my gloves - look how big her hands look!

Ready to sled again - all smiles! 
Down the hill again! 
They tried out all the different kinds of tubes and sleds we had! 
We left Abbie's house about 4:00 and Ella fell asleep before we got out of the driveway!
 
We headed over to Granddaddy and Grammy's for some chicken pot pie, baths for the kids, and a few episodes of Sheriff Callie's. 
We got home about 7:00 and Caleb was asleep on the couch! 
And Ella crawled in my bed and went to sleep!
 
We are all exhausted but it was such a fun day!
