The Snow and Pancakes

This post was started long ago, but due to the craziness of the holidays, had yet to be posted. This dates all the way back to the week of the snow storm in St. George. In all my years living here, I have never seen this much snow actually stick! It usually snows at some point in the winter, but I can't recall it staying for more than a few hours. My sister in law called me the morning that school was cancelled in some what of a panic, because she had no idea what to do with her children since she had to work. Me, being the amazing sister in law that I am, offered to keep her children. I figured it would be a blast to play in the snow, and make christmas cookies. I was right. We had a blast. We made a very sad looking snowman, with rocks for his eyes and mouth, and little twigs for arms.

Bentley and Chloe had a blast.

The view from my back yard. I love the juxtaposition of the red mountain against the white snow.

Belle took off with Daisy's glove and it was so funny to watch her try to get it back.

Even Belle enjoyed the snow.

Jordan attemptin to throw a snowball at me. I think it landed like ten feet in front of me.

Sadly, there are no pictures of the cookie making, I was too busy trying to keep 6 children from destroying my house in the process, that my camera was far from my mind.

A few days later, we had Daisy, Jordan and Lexy come stay the night. It was another fun day. We woke up in the morning and Jesus made his famous Mickey Mouse pancakes. Bentley kept asking for a Donald Duck one. We are still trying to figure out how to pull that one off.

These were taken by Daisy. She's 8. Pretty good if I say so myself.
