Snow Fall

*In an effort to get more on top of my journaling, I have decided to not allow myself to feel the pressure of writing down every. little. thing. I found that by becoming overwhelmed and feeling like I would never catch up, it prevented me from writing down even the most important things. Here is the beginning of what will hopefully be more consistency. Whether the quality is good or bad, at least it will be something.

We finally had a snowfall about a week ago. I say finally because my girls have been dying to play. Gracey has checked our home's security panel every single day since being on Christmas break, just hoping (and even praying at night) that it would snow.

Well, her prayers were answered and on December 31, 2012, we all suited up to play in the snow. It took us nearly 30 minutes to bundle up properly and get our boots on before we could go outside. Unfortunately though, Janie really hated her snowsuit. I don't blame her. She reminded me of Randy from "The Christmas Story" movie. She "couldn't put her arms down!"
