Snow Party

We enjoyed our snow day at home today.  Our neighbors are so much fun and we were very excited to spend the majority of the day outside playing in the snow with them.  When Handley woke up this morning she came in our room, looked out the window and lit up with excitement about all of the snow that had accumulated overnight.  She'd been talking about having a snow party with all of our friends and that is exactly what we did. 

Handley's first thought was that the snow was so much fun and she couldn't get enough.  Harper, on the other hand, wasn't as excited to be out in it. 


The girls had a blast sledding and the lid to our sandbox made a perfect sled to pull behind the... 


...golfcart!  
Yes, that is right, Robby put our golf cart to great use today and pulled all the kids around.



Not only did the kids have fun being pulled around, but the guys on our street did too.  They took turns snowboarding behind the golf cart.  



After being out a few hours everyone was getting cold and ready for a break so we headed inside for hot chocolate and a movie.  You can tell that the girls were all really tired.


After lunch and naps we headed back out and this time, Harper was much happier. I guess she'd gotten used to all of the snow and was happy to have her buddy, Calvin, out to play with too.


Some neighbors down the street had carved out an excellent sledding run and the kids (and adults) had fun going down it again and again.  Handley had just as much fun climbing up the hill as she did sliding down.



It was a fantastic day and we are hoping for a complete repeat tomorrow!

I told Bill earlier that I wished we lived in your neighborhood today! I just knew y'all would find some fun!

Looked like our neighborhood! So much fun! And it looks like we might be getting a few days of repeats here.

Love the use of the golf carts!
