Snow Day Activities

Blizzards are fun! Especially when you are trapped inside with some of your favorite people. Britt and the kids came over Tuesday knowing that the weather was going to get crazy. Nothing but fun ensued...

Best buds... Nathan and Abram. Nathan dotes on Abram...

Malia and Nathan passing some time playing computer games... Note some of Malia's drawings in the bottom right corner. Just these last few days she has been drawing actual people. She was even drawing a picture of David and asked, "Does papa have eyebrows?" and proceeded to add eyebrows. Quite the artist!

Today we braved the outdoors for a whole five minutes! Needless to say Mali was pretty excited to go out...

Nora and Malia showing how much snow we got in 24 hours... We went from nothing to pure craziness!


Making the long awaited snow angels. She got to stomp around and make her footprints too. We tried making a little snowman but it just wasn't packable snow...

On to decorating cookies... as you can see Malia was pretty stoked about this...


Mali got a little crazy with the flour...

Adding her favorite part... the sprinkles...

Ummm... A bit much! She was the first to use the sprinkles... over half gone!


The finished product and the proud artist...

All in all, a great time. It was fun to see how excited Malia got about the snow. She took forever to settle down last night because she couldn't wait for the snowfall. I hope she got her fill of angels and footprints in the snow. Love that all of the cousins get to spend time together. Malia kept saying that Nathan and Nora are her best friends. Sure do love those kids! Mom and Chris were trapped at home also. Lots of fun just hanging out with family. Good times!

I heard you guys got some serious snow. Couldn't help but think of you. Glad you have your sister to keep you sane! As for Malia's cookie, certainly a work of art. Time to test that girl for gifted! LOL.

I like the one of Malia excited too, but Brittney looks
stressed!
