Snow 2014

So this would be the second snow day they have called this year. A little ridiculous if you ask me, but whatever. That is what I get for working in education. Anyway, we did head out this time around. Stella could play out in the snow for hours, Nora on the other hand does NOT like the cold one bit. She was out for about a whole 5 minutes before she was whining to go back in. Jalen and Stella played for a bit and then came back in. Thank goodness Jalen came over!

Happy New Year!

During the day on New Year's Eve I took Jalen to Hidden Valley to go snow tubing! It was part of his Christmas present. My mom came along too and I even convinced her to join us. We had so much fun!!! I highly recommend going if you have the chance.

That evening we went to our friends, the Flemings house to ring in the new year. I brought some minute to win it games for the kids. It was actually quite hilarious. We had a nice appetizer dinner and played games and had a lot of fun. The kids popped a balloon filled with confetti every 30 minutes and Karin had noise makers and kiddie cocktails for our celebration. We ended up celebrating at 10 pm and soon after that we headed home. We put Stella to bed and Jalen and Nora stayed up with us until midnight. Jalen and I went outside and made noise while Peter and Nora stayed in. Nora was scared of all the fireworks going off.
