Gingerbread Train, Christmas Cookies and Snow.... What Snow!!!!!

Yes, it was an eventful day today. The boys and I left the house in the morning to go over to my mom's house. We decorated a gingerbread train, made sugar cookies, and made green rice crispy treats. We were in the kitchen all day long. It was a lot of fun. The kids were involved in it all. While we were fixing dinner for tonight, I looked out the window and it was snowing. I couldn't believe it. We quickly got the kids bundled up ( I thought for sure that it would not snow for long) and went outside. Peyton was so excited. He kept asking to make a snowman. The snow was pretty thick, but it was not sticking to the ground. He just enjoyed catching snow flakes on his tongue and watching them fall. He did not want to go back inside. It snowed for over an hour. The snow make it such a perfect Christmas day to be with family making Christmas treats.

After we got inside from being out in the snow, we made the kids hot chocolate for the first time. The kids did not really like it, so Lezlie and I enjoyed it!!

We ended our day eating 15 bean soup with cornbread. It was so so good. When we left my parents house, it was snowing again! CRAZY!!!

Enjoy the pics of our fun filled day!! It is hard to see the snow in the pics. I promise though it snowed really hard!

How cute! How cute! I couldn't believe it was snowing eithr until I called and Lezlie told me that, yes, it was snowing. Then Gary verified it, too. What a trick Mother Nature is playing!!!!! I can just imagine the fun Peyton as having. Who knows, you might get more, too.

Love the pictures.

Love you,
GG
