SNOWY DAYS!

What a beautiful, peaceful, restful (well...maybe not restful), fun gift the Lord gave us! We are enjoying a 4 day weekend due to the record breaking 10-12 inches (depending on who you ask) of snow Fort Worth, TEXAS received on Thursday!

Our WINTER WONDERLAND! Isn't God amazing?!?!

We had friends over on Thursday night since we got wind that the seminary was going to be closed on Friday, too. We almost had to have a slumber party due to all the snow buildup and the limb that fell and blocked our driveway. Have no fear, our handy husbands came to the rescue and cut up the limb so that our friends could carefully drive home.

Maegan, Jenny McWilliams, me, and Karen.
I wish this picture showed Jenny's shoes---she had on flip flops!...Hawaiians....

I tried to measure the snow fall on Friday morning. However, the only ruler I had was my handy dandy 8 inch Beall Barclay and Company ruler. It was covered by snow.
(side note- this is the middle of tax season for my dad and all the other employees at Beall Barclay. Please say a prayer for them as they are facing long hours with little sleep.)

We spent most of our days lounging in our pj's in the warmth of our home. Bri is showing off her "new" jammies that her cousins passed down! Thanks Millie and Esther!

Bundled up to play in the snow!

Aubri would much rather be held than touch the snow. She must be a Guatemalan at heart. ha!

This is our snowman! Isn't he handsome. The naming of the snowman went something like this:
Wesley: "Aubri what do you want to name the snowman?"
Aubri: "Ya!"
Wesley: "Do you want his name to be Ya?"
Aubri: "Ya!"
Wesley: "Ok, our snowman's name is Ya. Do you like Ya?"
Aubri: "Ya!"
Wesley: "How much?"
Aubri: "Ya, ya, ya!"

Got to love new "words"!

My name is Jenny and I am a Settlers of Catanaholic.
This is my new favorite game! Thankfully, all of our friends LOVE it too! We stay up way too late to fit in as many games as we can! After probably a dozen games, poor James had yet to win...until now! Here he is looking so proud! Way to go James!

The Settlers: Keith, Maegan, James, Jenny, Wes

We made some snow ice cream! It was...decent. A very fun memory!

Doesn't it look yummy? It was pretty good covered in chocolate syrup.
