Happy Snow Day. :)

I don't know why but parent birthdays are kind of glossed over at our house.  We always keep it pretty simple.  Probably because I am not a "party planner" and it's enough stress for me to worry about 5 kids.  Poor Nate.  This year I wanted to try to make Nate's birthday fun for the kids and Nate.  At first it looked like I was going to really tank.  I suggested sledding earlier in the week which he  agreed to but on his birthday I could tell I wasn't really in the mood for all that work.  We tried to come up with something else but finally decided to just go for it.

We drove up South Fork in Provo thinking there would be plenty of snow.  There was snow...but not plenty.  No where near enough for any sledding.  Discouraged we pulled over at the park and got out.  We figured we would just play for a few minutes and call it a day.  At last though, we were smiled upon from above.  We started making snow men and pretty soon we had built our family in snow family form.  We had such a good time and made a sweet memory Nate and I will enjoy when we are super old and grey.  Afterward we ate at Burger Supreme in Provo and then went home.

It turned out to be a great day and just goes to show that things are what you make of them.  I am so thankful to have a good husband who just rolls with the punches and kids willing to make the best of what we've got.
