snow day

I love the snow! I love how beautiful it is. I love playing in it. I love snowboarding on it. I love driving in it. I love watching it snow with a cup of hot chocolate.

This morning I set out to do a little Christmas shopping (without Jace!) and after about an hour it started to snow big beautiful snowflakes. So I finished up with the things nearby and headed home. After a little struggle getting up our hill (I had to get out and give the car a little push) I made it home just in time to throw on some snow clothes to play outside with Jace.

We had a great time throwing snowballs, riding on the sled, making snow angels and building a snowman.

(Jace's very first snow man. I put the hat on the snow man and Jace says "mom, he needs some gloves. oh! he doesn't have arms. he needs some arms for his gloves.")




p.s. Jared hates the snow (except when he is snowboarding). And good luck to all who are trying to go places for Christmas. Hope you all get to your families by Christmas. I'm glad we are staying right here in the basement.

p.p.s. When I got home from shopping Jace says "mom, i was very good for hunter. you bring me presents?" Don't tell Jared but I let him open one of his Christmas presents (snow gloves and a hat) so he could play in the snow without being cold. Maybe we will wrap them back up before Jared gets home from work!
