Our great friends, the Hancocks, came up from AZ to visit last week (really, the guys wanted to see BYU play in the tournament). We had a fabulous time at the zoo, playing games, and just hanging out, but the true highlight for all the kids was the snow!
Before they came, Tiffany had mentioned how fun it would be if it snowed. We haven't exactly had much "winter weather" this year, so it looked doubtful. Even the forecast predicted the weather to be in the mid 50s and warmer.
We lucked out! We woke up to about an inch of snow Friday morning. There was just enough on the grass for a snowball fight, some snow angels, and even some sledding down our front hill.
The kids really wanted to build a snowman, so he stood about 18 inches tall, had blueberry eyes and a tangerine slice for a mouth. That afternoon, the kids went out to the porch and found a puddle, 2 blueberries, and a shriveled orange slice.
I think the only bad part about our little "snowstorm" was that Miles had to wear pink. We had enough jackets, gloves and ski bibs (thanks to winter clearance last week!) for all 4 kids--but only in girl colors. He didn't seem to mind one bit, though.
The kids wanted to clean the snow off the car.
Good thing it was fresh snow! All the kids wanted to eat it!
Miles and Sadie licked the snow on the grass when we took a walk! Yuck!
We played a quick game of hide and seek. If you've ever seen our yard, there's not much to hide behind. Brian found a pretty good spot, but Sadie always seemed to be found...
We rearranged some stuff down in the basement so the kids could have room to ride bikes. They loved it!
The Hancocks left pretty early in the morning to start their long drive back. Miles and Hailey decided to warm up by the vent before heading out to the car!
All the kids enjoyed making art projects downstairs. I am still finding "projects" around the house! We didn't have enough room to put them all up!
Thanks, Joey, Tiffany, Miles and Hailey for coming to visit! We had a blast and can't wait to get together again!
