Let It Snow!

Before

Jay is always wishing for me to stay home and not be ratting the streets and this weekend his wish came true. The only thing that can keep me home is bad weather....And the snow was coming! They were calling for 2 feet some places...wow! South Jersey got a lot of snow but we only got about 8 inches!

Saturday night we stayed in and watched the snow fall. It was beautiful. We also made our first ginger bread house as a family!

Here is what is was supposed to look like

It started off really good, despite the few mishaps in the beginning!
For example, while Jay was mixing the icing we heard a pop and then smoked followed....it broke our mixer. HAHA Then we heard another POP and SPRINKLE! Sure enough Nola opened a bag of the candies that went EVERYWHERE!
What fun!

STILL HAVING FUN!

Jay did the icing while Nola & I decorated.

Here is our finished product!

Side view!

This was a great idea!

"Yep, the candy was tasty too!"

Then a little while later we heard a crash....our roof fell off!
Well, it was fun while it lasted!

For those of you who don't know....my husband's new hobbie is smoking...No not cigarettes...he calls himself the MEAT KING!

Y'all know I don't eat pork..but I LOVE his pulled pork!
DELICIOUS!

This is our elf, Chocolate, (named by Nola of course). His job is to watch Nola and report to Santa nightly and let him know if she has been good or bad. He returns every morning in a new spot and Nola has to find him. He leaves after Christmas and returns at Thanksgiving!

Jay baked for our cookie exchange this year. He made chipster topped brownies.
They were yummy! Thanks Jay!

Sunday afternoon the Atwells came over to play in the snow and eat dinner!

"Are we ready girls?"

Best Friends!

Snow fight!

Nola's sled getting good use!

Here we go!

More snow fights!

Hold on!

"Go faster Mr. Mike!"

More fun!

Getting tired!

"OK I'm done! Where's the hot chocolate?"
