It's been snowing and snowing and snowing***

I am using this post today as part of:
Mama's Losin' It

As I type this it has been snowing now for 18 hours.
We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow when we only were supposed to get 1.
School was cancelled, woo hoo, and I was so happy to have Adison home with me for another day.
I just love having all of my little chickadees with me.
K drove to work, but the streets were so bad and considering the fact that we are supposed to get another 4 - 8 inches today felt that it would be safer to come home with the streets being drive-able.
When K got home, he promptly started shoveling.
The girls, who can't wait to get into the snow, were very quick to join.
So, I rustled up what snow weather gear we had an sent them out.

Isn't it pretty? I love how snow sparkles.

The view from our porch.

Hubs taking a photo break from shoveling.

Adison striking a pose.

Ainsley looking like a snow princess.

It was all fun and games and then this happened...






So I got my snow gear on to go play in the snow too!


There was a really nice moment when the big girls were playing, Abby was taking a nap and K and I had a moment to sit on the porch together and just watch. It was one of those beautiful moments in life that when they happen you just have to sit there and enjoy it. Precious.

We of course had to finish with some hot cocoa.

I think we are going to head back out after nap time.
The snow is beautiful and needs to be enjoyed!

How about you, did you get snow?
