Finally!

 Chase finally got the snow he's been wishing for!  

He was honestly more excited to see snow than he was to get Christmas presents!

 They couldn't wait until morning so we had to bundle up and head outside to catch some flakes.

 We promised him that when he woke up the ground would be covered and he could go out and play then.  That finally convinced him to go back inside.

 All we had to say to get Taylor to come in was "hot chocolate".

 Someone is easily distracted.

 Morning came earlier than usual for us.  Chase was in his snow gear about 7:30.  Luckily the ground was covered but it wasn't quite as much as the weatherman had promised!

 We tried to build a snowman but the snow just wasn't very cooperative.

(Taylor was still sound asleep in the house at this point!)

 Zeke loved the snow too.  He ran in circles and circles and circles and then repeated.

 After Taylor woke up we went over to my parents so Chase could have "the biggest snowball fight ever" because you know the snow is always better at the grandparents house!

 Three little angels.

 Actually, the snow was better here!  They didn't have much of it but it stuck together well enough for me to put together this masterpiece.  Dave made fun of my first attempt so I was quick to send him this picture to prove my skills!

 A snowy day made for happy kids!

 Before the snow ever started we took a bowling trip to pass the time!  Chase was super-glad that Bryce could tag along.

 Without the ramp the ball takes a looooong time to go down the lane.  They had fun swinging arms and singing songs while they waited.  The ball literally touched a pin and didn't knock it down when it finally got there!

 Favorite part of the trip: the snacks!  When we left, Chase said "thanks for taking us bowling" and Taylor said "thanks for taking us to the bowling alley for snacks".  She is a nut.  She loves some snacks.

Mandatory stop in the arcade before we left.  Luckily the race car games are actually more fun to kids when you don't put money in them!!
