Snow in Missouri

I'm on the list for text alerts for the school district and was surprised on Thursday morning to get a message that school was cancelled due to snow. We all went running to look out the window to see our few inches. In Utah they don't cancel school unless it's several feet! Still, Scott had a blast playing in the snow all day instead of school
Most of it had melted off by today, but we spent a good few hours of our Saturday afternoon playing out in the snow in our front yard with the kids. They have really been missing the Utah snow (not us seeing that we haven't had to shovel the driveway once yet!)
 Ari's first time in the snow! I love this picture with her cute little nose sticking out



 I'm such a lucky girl! (I won't get into details about how good looking this guy is seeing that it's a family blog)

What are big sisters for? So cute!

Ari's favorite part was listening to her shoe make a squeaky noise in the sled....she was mesmerized
 Ready to take off the wet clothes and take a nap :)
 What a fun time we had! Just to show that every day has it's ups and downs, let me finish the story.... after naps we decided to take the kids to Wendys for dinner and then we went to Walmart to look around. Hailey was throwing a fit about wanting every barbie and barbie accessory in the store, and screamed and cried so hard that she threw up all over the aisle her entire happy meal and frosty.
To end on a happy note, we came home and let the kids stay up an extra 30 minutes so we could have a family dance party... always a good time
