Happy 5th Birthday, Alexandra!

This year we celebrated Alexandra's birthday at Texas Skatium! It was a blast!! Her and her friends got to skate, get their face painted, and get animal balloons. It was so fun to watch everyone skate! I am thankful for all of our friends and family who celebrated it with us. The party went by so fast we had to open the gifts at home. Alexandra had a wonderful time opening her gifts! Her gifts have kept her busy these past 2 days. Happy 5th Birthday, Alexandra, we LOVE you bunches!!

The Winter Storm

When I woke up Friday I was in AWE at the sight I saw outside! It looked like a picture on a postcard to me. I had never seen such a breathtaking sight in person. As the day went on I heard Rockwall ISD clossed their school. Then I decided to take the girls on a wagon ride to the cousins house. I bundled all of us up and off we went. I did good pulling the girls down our street on the tire tracks left from where cars had traveled. Then I got on the road with the pretty big hill, well that was a different story. I was not only pulling two girls in a wagon I was also pulling all the snow that was in our way. I was sweating in this cold weather. Once we got to the cousins house they immediately went outside and played! Alexandra dressed herself and I had no idea they were going to play in the snow (silly me, I know). The girls had so much fun!! Avery kept walking in the snow until she fell down and Kaitlyn was so sweet to save her every time!! After a while we had them come in and they played inside. Then it was time to go home. The girls and I bundled up and went outside to begin our trip home. Our trip home was a lot faster. I was grateful there was no ice on the road because I was running down the hill with the wagon chasing me. There was no stopping that wagon! We came home and warmed up with some hot chocolate. What a fun experience for me and the girls!!! I am so glad I decided to take them on that wagon ride!

More Snow Fun!

Toby surprised us and came home early so he could play in the snow with us! We all were so happy and excited to see him!! He taught Alexandra and I how to make a real snowman! We had a wonderful time playing in the snow. This couple days of snow has been a real treat for us. I am so glad I got to experience this with my family. It is a time that always will be cherished.

Fun in the Snow

It is days like this that I really am thankful I am a stay at home mom! We woke up this morning to snow and watched it fall all day. What a beautiful sight to wake up to! Rockwall did not cancel school so I went ahead and took Alexandra to her school. I did not want her to miss her Valentine party at school. She said "mommy, promise not to play in the snow without me" I told her we wouldn't. She also said "when I get home from school we will make snow angels, snowmen, and have a snowball fight"! I told her I couldn't wait to play in the snow with her. Before we left to take Alexandra to school, I let her and Avery play a bit. It was awesome driving in the snow, Avery was very excited and kept screaming SNOW over and over again! When Alexandra got home from school we went outside and played with our neighbors. It is so fun to have friends to play in the snow with. Misty and Alexandra got into a snowball fight. Their snowballs were huge! Avery had a great time running in the snow. She fell a few times and could not get up out of the thick snow. She just laid there and yelled. When I picked her up she said "tank you mommy". It reminded me of the boy in A Christmas Story that was bundled up so much when he fell he could not get up! Everyone had a wonderful time and it was a great day to enjoy the snow. I am glad my girls got the chance to experience snow! There were so many good pictures but I narrowed it down to a few. Enjoy!!
