Snow Storms and a Slumber Party

With the snow and ice storm on it's way Friday, I was dreading being stuck at home all weekend with nothing to do. Eric got off work early and we were lounging around the house preparing to embrace the boring, cold weekend ahead of us when I called Brooke to see what they were up to. She was making chili and cheese straws and invited us over to spend the night. We immediately accepted and threw our stuff in the car and headed the 7 minutes down the road to Tollgate Village. After all, there is nothing better than someone to entertain your children when you are snowed in for a few days. As we were packing, it started to sleet, so the ride over was slightly treacherous, but we finally arrived safe and just in time for dinner. Saturday we woke up to ice covering snow, covering ice, covering snow. The boys went sledding and the girls went to Target and had a nice relaxing lunch at Panera and the kids played and played and played. We had so much fun that we decided to spend the night Saturday night too. I made sure to tell Brooke that she could kick us out whenever she wanted, but she assured me she wanted us to stay. We have a blast hanging out with them and our kids love each other so much. Here are a some videos and photos from our weekend.

Mason didn't like the snow.

This is before we got all the layers on.
