Today was a magical day. It started out a little stressful--the roads were icy and I got the kids 15 minutes late to school. But once we got home, the girls and Chewy played out in the snow while I shoveled the walk.
Mike got home from work and after I got Michaela off to school, he and I exercised together while Emily napped. When all the kids were home, everyone bundled up and headed out to go sledding. Chewy ran around catching snowballs, and everyone piled on sleds and screamed and laughed with delight as they slid down the hill. When everyone had enough, we sat around the kitchen island and sipped homemade cocoa. The boys pulled out their homework, Daddy made jimbalaya and I helped the boys finish their work. After dinner, everyone worked on folding the laundry and getting it put away. Caleb went to scouts and the other children got ready for bed.
As you can see it wasn't that anything extraordinary happened. It was just a special day where everyone had fun and we all enjoyed being together!
