A Day at Home

What a perfect day to spend at home...no school because its Presidents Day AND we woke up to snow!! Its been an unusual winter this year with warm temperatures and hardly any snow. Personally I don't really mind (I'm from AZ remember!?) but the girls have been missing it. They were in heaven when they woke up to a blanket of white. They got outside as soon as they could to build a "jump" on the hill in our front yard. The rest of the day was spent sledding, building a snowman, and enjoying the smiles that only a day in the snow can create :) Its days like this that makes me wish we could be at home everyday! Crazy, I know...but still true.
