Don't get me wrong, we have had lots of snow this winter. Little bits at a time. But since our average temp this winter has been -20+, we haven't even been able to go outside and play in the snow.

Until last week...We finally got a snow day that we could actually take advantage of!

It started snowing when we went to sleep. Snowed through the night and all the next day. It was a {what felt warm} 30 degrees and the snow was just too fluffy and perfect to not get out and play in.

Unfortunately we don't own a sled. So we bumbled up (as Preston says it) Wesley and put him in the stroller.

Trucked our way through the streets of covered snow. 

...Having the best time!

The next day we headed out with friends (Hyrum & Jane) and we built a snowman. And when I say we... I mean "Me". The kids just wanted to play :)

Our sweet little snowman was so cute...until I had the genius idea to put Skyler's dentures on it. Then he became a little creepy.

But it had to be done.

Skyler & Chad (Hyrum & Jane's Dad) are both dental students.

It was a picture must.

I was talking to my Mom on the phone and she said happily told me she walked outside barefoot in the 70degree weather today. So I thought I would post a few pictures to remind everyone that we are still freezing in Iowa. Drinking lots of HOT chocolate and spending way too much time indoors.

We are currently in a winter storm advisory warning for the next 24 hrs. Here's to hoping we actually get that foot of snow they're anticipating so we have something to play in (We only got like 2" the last time we were in a winter warning...lame).

We hope all of our friends and family are staying warm from the cold...or enjoying their pre-spring heat.
