Winter Wonderland

My brother, Robert, was sealed to his wonderful wife, KayDee, this weekend in the Manti Temple.  We made a quick trip to be their with them on their special day.  Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of that event. :o(  We had a lot of fun, though, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.  For dinner, I made a St.Patrick's Day dinner for everyone, with a lot of my mom's help!  We had corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots.  To drink, we had leprechaun floats (lime sherbet and sprite).  It was all very delicious!  I didn't take any pictures of this, either. :o(  Sunday morning, we woke up to this scene outside:
 
It was very beautiful, but not exactly what I had in mind for our long drive home!  Kensley was so excited she could hardly handle it.  She came running in the bedroom bright and early squealing with delight at the snow and couldn't wait to head outside to build a snowman.  We, of course, weren't quite prepared for snow even though we knew it was coming.  We just don't have many opportunities for snow living in Mesa and so we don't have any snow clothes.  Church was in the morning, so Kensley went out in her Church clothes.  I love this picture of her.


Since we didn't have snow clothes, we had to make due with what we had.  Poor Pyper only had a little hoodie sweater and we put socks on her hands to try and keep them warm.  It didn't work for long.


She came in the house crying because she was so cold, but wanted to help build a snowman so bad!  The snowman was scrapped fairly quickly because no one involved had gloves and it was just too cold!

Robert has the cutest house and the best backyard ever!  The kids' favorite thing, is this loft by the kitchen and they spent a majority of their time playing in it.  It is a little scary for me with Pyper because there is just a big whole to drop out of, but she wanted to be part of the fun so bad.  Kensley slept up there every night with the other kids.
