Snow Day

Well it finally snowed it Seattle. Lizzy declared it the best day in January ever! The kids woke up like it was Christmas morning. I am pretty sure Lizzy jumped up and down for 2 straight hours until she was allowed to go outside and play after we found out church had been cancelled. I know it seems funny to hear "church cancelled". Seattle really does shut down. It was snowing quite hard and the roads were icy with no one to plow them. The other problem is actually getting to the church. The church is on a hill and the road to get there becomes incredibly icy so they cancel. Is it bad to admit that in Lizzy's prayer tonight that she was thankful it was cancelled?

It didn't take long for Liz and James to start with now angels until dad arrived to build a snowman in the front yard followed by a snow fort.


 The kids got cold and came inside for awhile. After all, we did need to have church!

 Grandma and Grandpa R came over after their church was over to spend the afternoon. It was back outside for building 2 more snowmen, a snowball fight...



 eating the snow...

 and then to the front yard again for sledding down the sidewalk.







Life doesn't get much better. It is supposed to snow again tomorrow much to the kids delight!

My boys were in heaven! Jake actually asked me the other day why we hadn't gotten snow yet, so I was happy he finally got his winter dream ;) Glad you guys enjoyed it too!

One of our best memories was when they canceled church cuz of snow in VA. BEST DAY EVER! I might've said a prayer a little like Lizzy's :) So fun you guys have snow. Great pictures.

So Fun! I'm amazed at how much snow you have. We have barely a skiff, but the boys are still having fun playing outside. I think I might say a little prayer tonight asking for more snow.

The kids are so adorable and so is their snowman! I know we had church canceled in UT--probably multiple times. What a fun day!
