Snow Day!!

Today Kai & Francis woke up not feeling well so I called the kids in from school, Fran called in sick to work and I packed up the van for our first ever snow trip! Kali and Kai have only seen snow once in Cave Creek a few years ago and it was about an inch deep so this was fun! We drove up to Stoneman Lake

 Kai jumped right in to the snow and was head to toe covered

 snowball fight

 Kai was trying to throw this at me

 Kora loved the snow

 Kali is going to be as tall as me soon

 our car picnic

 one last stop before home at Sunrise Point

Happy Sunday

We started today off with some Christmas pancakes (regular pancakes with sprinkles) and cleaned the house until it was time to go have lunch at Grandma Kathi's. We made Gingerbread houses after lunch.

 Kora and Kai ate a TON of candy & frosting and were SOOOO wild

 Then Daddy got serious about decorating

 I had a moment of peace on the couch an almost fell asleep. It was GREAT!

 We came home and Kora crashed on the couch after her sugar high. We sent Kai outside to play and run off his crazy. Later, during the Cardinal's game half time we went to look at "Christmas tree lights" (as Koko calls them) Look at her tongue that girl ATE SOOO much candy today. Kai was dancing up a storm at the houses that have music attached to their lights. Party in our mini van!

 SUPER duper surprise! We saw a big 'ol pile of snow at the kid's school. JACKPOT! Since the kids were clearly dressed for the snow (NOT) they ran out and played and slipped (flip flops and snow don't mix)  in the snow. 

 It was Kora's first time seeing snow :)

 I'd say today was one happy Sunday.

Now I am exhausted.

First time seeing snow!

Today was the kid's first time seeing snow!

We drove up to Carefree/ Barlett lake and they loved it!
