Snow, again!

After last year when it snowed a few times, my kids kept asking when it would snow again. Well, yesterday was the day! It had rained for about 12 hours and when we came out of sacrament meeting it was snowing!
As you can see it did not snow too much but my kids did make the most of it.
We don't normally let them play outside on Sunday and had said no a few times. Then, Joey was smart enough to present the idea as a service: get the snow off of the trampoline (which never happened) and get the snow off of dad's truck. It was funny to me so I caved and let them go outside. The cold got them back in within 30 minutes and just 5 minutes for Arabella.
Joey used just about every bit of snow in the yard to make his big snowball which they rolled into the driveway.
"I don't like the cold, let me in!"
This is how Arabella is enduring the cold weather today, watching Strawberry Shortcake with her doll who has her own pillow. She learned this viewing position from Jon.
We tried sponge rollers for the first time last Saturday. She would not sleep in them but I put them back in Sunday morning for a few hours and some of it stayed curled the whole day.
The Sunday after Christmas we drove to Houston to visit Peter's Grandmother Omelia Rabner. We had a delicious dinner at his Aunt Deena's house. We also stopped for about an hour and a half to see our friends the Larsens. It was so fun to see friends and family during the holidays.

Ali loves playing in the snow too - me, not so much. We had just a tiny bit on our porch on Saturday so she dressed herself (coat and boots over jammies w/socks for gloves) and had a blast playing on her little slide in it. Kids are so funny. I love Arabella's curly hair - so cute!
