The Evans Family: Snow Day

It's almost been 2 months since I blogged last. I'm ashamed! But what can I say... We've been busy with life.

We've been enjoying our last few days at home due to the snow. Actually, I only enjoyed the first day stuck at home. Then I got terrible cabin fever and HAD to get out! So we went to Walmart for snow boots for myself. Which they were sold out of... hard to believe I know. Anyway, these picture are a little insight to what we have been doing during the snow.

We got a total of 6-7 inches on top of some sleet and ice! I think it's a perfect amount of winter precip. I was just thankful we didn't get more ice like they forecasted. No power in the bitter cold sucks!

Our snow outting lasted only about 30 minutes until I started to get cold. Eli would have stayed out all day I think. The snow outting called for hot cocoa!

For some reason I have been putting off decorating for Christmas. Our tree has been up but with only lights, no decorations. I decided I should probably take advantage of my time at home and get the house decorated. I mean it is only 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas! Mine and Chad's 10 year anniversary was yesterday! Happy anniversary to us! I called around to see if any restaurants were open so we could get out of the house and celebrate. Everything was closed! So we had homemade chili and French fries and watched an episode of Homeland.

Like I said earlier, I have been fighting the Christmas decorations for a few weeks now. So the tree didn't get the full decorations this year. And I have to say, I kinda like it! I think next year I'm going to buy some shatterproof ornaments and let Eli decorate the entire thing.

Time for more snow playing today!

We finally found a hill for sledding. Our neighborhood is completely flat so we had to drive around and find one. This one turned out perfect! We all had a great time and laughed the entire time!
