Winter fun

Winter has never been my favorite season,
but I've been trying to enjoy it more.
Sure I may have picked one of the best winters EVER to decide to try to like winter,
but hey, I'm trying okay?! Lol!

Although, I think I may be allergic to snow, 
whenever it starts snowing I get sick 
(yesterday I spent the entire day in bed with a fever and terrible aches).
It snowed/rained all day yesterday.
It would stick for a while, then it would start raining and the snow would melt. It did this several times.
Then this morning we woke up to at least 4 or 5 inches of snow.
It was still coming down.
It stopped around 11ish, but by the time we were in our second hour of church 
(we start at 1) it was really coming down again, and has been ever since.

So after church we decided to play in it.
We built this beauty!
I don't know if you can see her arms, 
but it kind of looks like she is doing the yoga pose called Warrior 2...lol,
totally on accident I promise.
Of course we also had a snowball or snow shovels worth (my sweet husband) fight.
It was really fun, even if I got slaughtered.
 Then to warm up we started a fire in our fireplace.
Here is my handsome husband talking to his dad and warming by the fire.
 Then I remembered seeing that a friend of ours put on her facebook that she and her family roasted marshmallows in their fireplace and thought it was a good idea. So we roasted some marshmallows.


And they were delicious!

P.S. I think the key to not hating winter is wearing enough warm clothes and staying dry.
I hated winter at school because my pants would always get wet because I didn't hem them and they would drag, but once I discovered the short sizes it was so much better!
And today we got all decked out in snow gear before we went and it was totally fine because I was toasty the whole time!

  1. We missed seeing you guys yesterday!

    That would be so fun to roast marshmallows inside while warming up. :)

  2. When I lived in Cedar we would roast marshmellows over our gas stove! Not quite the same effect but they still tasted good! I hate winter too, and I am sure that is the deseret rat in us! I may have to learn to like the snow again soon though :)
