Even better than being off work was the fact that we could do nothing more than enjoy the day together as a family. I so enjoyed looking at everyone's snow day pictures and status updates on Facebook. It was so refreshing to see everyone's regular hectic routines come to an abrupt stop to enjoy precious time with family. Here are some pictures from our adventures in the snow. (Note: I promise these babies did wear gloves for most of their time in the snow. But have MERCY they look cold. No wonder they both have runny noses and coughs this week!)
Waiting patiently to go outside
Collin hugging the snowman. Collin was truly distraught when he began to melt :(
Of course we had to jump in the snow. And eat it, too.
Cabin fever did get the best of us on Saturday so we loaded up and went shopping in Hattiesburg. First, we stopped to get a few more pictures in the snow before it melted.
Lolly and Poppy stopped by to deliver some Valentine treats. Saturday afternoon we went to our cousin Kooper's 1st birthday party. Then we visited Mee Maw, Paw Paw, and Pammi who also hooked the kiddos up with some Valentine surprises. As you can imagine, we did some serious teeth brushing after Saturday. Sugar overload!!
Sunday after church my parents so graciously offered to keep the kids. Kyle and I went on a lunch date to Crescent City (our fave!) and just enjoyed the quiet afternoon together. To say the least, it was a very refreshing & fun weekend. Valentine's Day is special to our family for a number of reasons: This day is G.P.'s (a.k.a. Poppa) birthday. Rod's (Poppy) birthday is the 15th. And finally, we discovered we were expecting baby #2 on Valentine's Day two years ago!! We will never forget that day as long as we live. But that's really a post in itself ;)
