Sweet snuggles with Daddy.
We LOVE our gas fireplace. being able to flip the switch and have instant heat has been heavenly. In Oregon we enjoyed our wood burning stove, but dry wood was sometimes hard to come by. With this arctic blast we have blowing thru we have been running our fire almost nonstop.
Lucky for us we have a little dusting of snow. We get to go out and play until we are frozen and then we get to come inside and snuggle in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoy a good fire and watch a show.
A yard can never have enough snow angles. Whenever Addie noticed a patch of untouched snow, she would say "oh my goodness, nook Mommy" then drop and make a "no angle."
Ellie even loves the snow, not so much the cold part but she loved eating it and playing with Addie, well for a few minutes.
While Addie played in the freezing coldness of our backyard, Avery was sound asleep bundled in blankets of warmth. Avery will have her turn, but until that day may she stay bundled up and inside.
While we have been fortunate enough to have all the luxuries of our warm home with all the warmth and goodness we could imagine. Whereas our favorite Auntie MoMo was stranded in her car parked a Flying J in Snowville UT. She was on her way to come visit us and a blizzard struck and closed down a small 5 mile stretch of I 84, before MoMo could get through. Luckily her fantastic sister managed to get her the last available in Snowville. There were only 8 so she is one lucky duck. At least sshe isn't back tracking to Tremonton or spending the night in her car at the flying J. We will keep our fingers crossed and hopefully she makes here tomorrow!
Oh my goodness, YES! The weather has been NASTY! I hope Monica makes it there safe and on time! Cute pictures playing in the snow. Maybe I will take Creighton out!
