Our First Snow Day

We finally got a snow day and the kids and I couldn't be more excited. Even Daddy got to stay home from work to play with us.  We started off the morning with chocolate chip pancakes, but because the snow it white, Tanner insisted we use white chocolate chips. The pancakes were a big hit. 
Then we immediately got bundled up and headed outside to play in the snow. Luckily for us, our driveway is ridiculously steep so we had a great time sledding down it over and over again. 
Tanner loved it so much!
I was surprised by how much Bailey enjoyed the sledding. 
Love these two little sledding pros!
They had so much fun. We played and played!
We played outside for an hour before our hands got cold. 
Bailey enjoyed sledding with her Daddy too. 
Oh and we had to make snow angels. 
Then Bailey turned over and made one on her tummy. lol. This girl cracks us up. 
Love these little snow buddies
Then we went inside to get warm for a little bit. We drank some hot cocoa and watched "Peter Pan".
Then Tucker woke up, so we got dressed again and took Tucker outside to enjoy his first ever snow. 
Here are all three of my babies on the sled. 
Tucker really loved sledding. I would just gently pull him around the backyard and he laid there and smiled the entire time. 
Then we went back to the driveway and went sledding some more. 
I just love these kids and I love that we all enjoy the snow. 
I think Tucker was a fan of the snow. 
How cute is this little guy?
All three of my snow buddies. So cute. 
Then we went back in for lunch and naps. 
We watched another movie after naps and played outside again until dark. 
Then it was time to eat dinner and take baths. 
The kids slept so hard because we spent all day playing in the snow. 

Then today, Thursday, Clark and Danny came over to hang out while their parents went to a visa  appointment. We played outside again. Believe me, getting 5 kids ready took a while, but the kids enjoyed the snow so it was worth it. 
We even made a little snowman. 

We had fun with the cousins, but we are happy the roads are clearing off so we can get out and about again. I wonder how much longer Winter will stick around. It took a while for the winter weather to arrive, but maybe it's here for a while.
