Snow days!!

Billy decided that this year the girls were going to see snow no matter what! So we scheduled to take the girls up to Flagstaff
yesterday. We had a blast! Billy checked the computer for the weather report and road conditions just before we left. The

weather report said"5% chance of snow and roads were clear". So
we are getting to just before Munds Park and it is snowing like
crazy! We could barely see 100 yards in front of us. Billy was loving it so much! So we decide that when we get to Flagstaff we are buying chains just in case because the snow was not letting up at all! We were in Walmart buying chains, we were in there maybe 20 minutes or so and we came out to the car COVERED in tons of snow! Kylee loved it, she was giggling at the snow hitting her face. She is mad in the picture here because she thought Daddy was putting her back in the car. Kylee was so mad when we told her we were going home. Billy and I were laughing so hard. Then Mattison didn't want to

get out of the car. She was so tired by the time we got to Flagstaff

she said she just wanted to go home now and eat toast. Billy and I

laughed and said we drove all this way let's go have some fun. So

I finally convinced Mattie to get out of the car, after that we had a hard time getting her back in the car. Mattie loved it when daddy

would throw snow balls. So my camera was dying so I don't have

pictures of the girls in the snow but Billy is planning to go again in

2 weeks or so, so then I will charge my camera and take pics of the girls IN the snow. Then as we were driving home we had to drive very slow for a big chunk of time because of how hard it was snowing. I just prayed the girls would sleep because they could hardly stand the drive up there so I knew they would be even more restless coming home since we had to drive so slow. So here is the ride home......

I would say "Successful Snow day for the Chase family!!" Mommy

loved the quiet ride home after all the excitement and never

ending question of "Are we there yet?" or "Is it time to get out

now?". I love my little family so much! I also loved seeing my

husband's face light up so bright when he was in the snow! Snow

really makes Billy SO happy! He is like a kid at Disneyland when

it comes to snow. So more snow days in the future for this

wonderful family of mine. Merry Christmas everyone!! We love you!!
