Finally some Snow!!!!!

*So, blogging has been the last thing on my to do list for too long and poor Sadie needs her toddlerhood recorded like Ella's was cause Lord knows I won't remember it all. So, trying to get caught up...

 We waited til the end of March but finally got a decent snow! It only lasted a half a day before melting but was SO beautiful and Sadie's first real snow since she was so little last year :-)

View from my bedroom window...bliss!!

Waking the girls up to surprise then with snow might be one of my favorite things EVER!!

Sadie's first time walking in snow that was more than an inch high!

Built a snowman with our neighbors 

4 little snow angels 

Sadie's first time Sledding!! She loved it! I couldn't resist acting like a 6 year old and taking my own turns going down the hill :-)

Can't wait til next winter!!

Bark Family Night!

We've been trying to keep Thursday night sacred for family nights for a couple years now. We've also been trying to build relationships with our neighbors and love on them. So, we combined those two for a Christmas-serve-our-neighbors themed family night a couple weeks before Christmas!

We tried our hand at making bark for the first time. Melting chocolate and adding anything to it proved to be the perfect family cooking experiment! We made white chocolate and milk chocolate with pretzels, MnMs, crushed Oreos, and some chocolate Christmas colored candies. We made a TON and packaged most of it up for 6 of our neighbors. It was a quick project so we decided to go deliver it with our Christmas cards that same night...not realizing it was pouring rain!! But, not wanting to ruin our momentum, we braved it which made for an even more memorable adventure :-)
