Winter Wonderland!

Brina making a snow angel

We spent our days finding ways to have fun both inside and outside the house.  I think they spent almost as much time outside as they did inside even on those days when it was snowing the whole day.  They had so much fun.

A sweet “I Love You”

Karlie found a nice leafy spot for her snow angel!

I wonder who might have wrote this one! Ha!

Yes, we get another SNOW DAY!  YAY!!!!  So excited!

Every morning before the kids and animals were tracking in and out of the house the deck looked beautiful all covered in a fresh coat of snow!

One morning we measured the amount on the back deck – 3 inches overnight!  Awesome!

Not sure how much we actually got but the kids sure have enjoyed all of it!

A good snow storm is not complete without some snow cream.  The problem is my traditional recipe had dairy in it so I found another one and we substituted Coconut Milk.  It didn’t turn out as creamy as our old one, however, the kids still had a great time making and eating it!

Whipping up two batches of snow ice cream – one vanilla and one chocolate!

Karlie’s stirring up the vanilla!

A bowl of snow cream with sprinkles on top!  Delicious!

If you want the Snow Cream recipe it is as follows:

4 cups Fresh Snow

1/3 cup Sugar

1/4 teaspoon of Vanilla

1/2 cup Milk or Coconut Milk

Stir everything together and enjoy!  You can add chocolate or any of your favorite toppings!
