Winter Days

The kids absolutely loved the snow that fell this last Sunday. Monday morning they got up and wanted to go right out and play. They have fun trying to make snowmen, snow angels, and just running and falling in the snow. They last quite a while, thanks to their snow clothes. However, when they are ready to come in, they do so demanding hot cocoa to try and warm themselves up.

I remember how much fun I had when I was little playing in the snow. I loved making snow caves. My dad would make a big pile from shoveling the driveway and then I would dig and dig. This last week Kennedy went to play at her friend Savanah's house. While there Savanah's dad, Beau, pulled them on a sled behind his motorcycle up and down the road.

I was so glad to hear they had such a fun time, because that is another thing my dad did with me and my friends.
Now that I am older I enjoy winter days because I love cuddling on the couch with my favorite blanket and book to just relax and read. How blessed we all are to have a nice warm home when it is bone-chilling cold outside.

Cute pictures. I'm about getting done with the snow already, but I guess we have a few more months to go.

I think it's great hearing about your children do things that you loved to do when you were their age. I think it's a blessing to be able to raise kids in the way we were, especially if we had a lovely childhood.
