This morning we awoke to a freshly laid lawn of snow. It was just a couple of inches, but that was on top of sleet and snow we had yesterday, which made it packed and heavy. As soon as we finished eating our snowflake and snowman pancakes for breakfast, we bundled up and headed into the wonderful white wilderness outside our front door (a.k.a. the park across the street from our house). We pulled the kids around in the sled and found an awesome sledding hill; unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to stop at the bottom of it before piling into a bank of trees. Barrett and Audrey both loved riding the sled; Audrey also found humor in falling off, but Barrett did not.
After we wore ourselves out sledding, we made a snowman to sit in our front yard. He is a jolly snowman. It is supposed to be cold the next few days, so we'll see how long he lasts.
As much fun as we had playing in the snow, the best part of the day was coming inside, putting on dry clothes, and making Christmas cookies. We made some of the basic chocolate chip to appease Billy, but we also have some gingerbread dough chilling in the fridge so we can make some gingerbread cookies when the children wake up from their naps. It is so nice to have a lazy day at home!
