Snow Day

The day before the kids were suppose to return to school from Winter break - Sunday January 5th - here comes the snow, and bitter cold temps. 

We didn't get a ton of snow, but bitter cold winds and -20 wind chills caused them to cancel school both Monday and Tuesday.  On the Monday the conditions started to get better AND The Championship football game was that night so Jennie packed up the girls and headed over to meet me and Mike and the boys and we followed each other out to Sonora.  Slowly but surely, we safely made it to Sonora.

the cousins enjoyed being together.  Here is Max and Laney playing an ipad game

I put sunglasses on the American girl dolls :)

Mary Frannie carrying Alex - who is losing his pants, lol

Tuesday morning, Mike headed to work so we took the kids to Walmart to get some ideas for Max and Laney's 5th Birthdays coming soon (February 12th and 16th)

Laney picked Hello Kitty

We took over the party aisle

Thought this was cute...Mary Frannie found something for Max so she told him to close his eyes as she took him to it

Walmart didn't have any Transformer decorations, so we needed to head to Party City.  Before PArty City we ran through McDonalds.  $5 for 20 nuggets goes a long way to some hungry kiddos.

We found some Transformer Decorations!  These things are hard to find.  They are only at Party City - not Walmart or Target etc.

It was fun to have a snow day in Sonora with all of the cousins together. We also had fun looking around for Max and Laney's Birthday.  I can't believe they will be 5 in just a few weeks!
