A Perfect Snow Day

What a beautiful way to wake up on Saturday morning to a snow covering! Even better temps were above freezing so the roads were safe to travel. I ran to a quick exercise class in the morning called Zumba. Its an hour of dancing to Latin music. I don't have rhythm to begin with but adding in an 18 week pregnant belly made for tons of laugh. I decided that I can either move the top part or the bottom part of my body at once, I unfortunately don't have the brain waves to do both at the same time. Ah humbling, but the necessary work out was DONE for the day.

The boys were still cozy in pjs when I got back home so I decided it was time to make our own paper snowflake ornaments inside. To keep Colin involved, we got out some paint since he's not quite to the cutting with the scissors stage yet.

Before long we heard the giggling of the neighborhood kids outside enjoying the first good snowfall of the year. So we all got dressed in outdoor gear, seemed like it took forever and ran outside to join the festivities.
Here's an action shot with Grant being pulled in the snow, Daddy building a snowman and Colin throwing snowballs. I was proud of my Georgia man's ability to make a snow man like an ol' pro.

The afternoon was filled with cookie making time. Grant did a great job of making sugar cookies and then decorating them. It was so nice to reflect on how last year Grant was captivated for oh maybe 3 minutes, but his attention span is so much longer now and really was a big help. I am so thankful for this! And finally our at home day was capped off with a movie night. We all snuggled on the couch with popcorn and enjoyed a quiet ending to our day at home. A wonderful quiet day spent with my family while the craziness of the holidays swirled around us:-)
