Courtney Bell Rainbow Sparkly

 Last night we finally had another snow storm.  It would have been nice to have it happen for Christmas.  I guess better late than never?  I can't even remember the last time it snowed.  It's been forever! My girls haven't even been able to enjoy being kids and play in the snow this year because of the lack of.  We were all excited that it snowed, even me!  We really needed it, and hey I didn't have to wake up early and be out in it. Bonus!  The girls wanted to go out and play in it right away, but I said we needed to eat breakfast, clean up toys, get ready, read, and then we could go out in it.
After doing all of those things we got dressed in our snowsuits and snow gear and went outside.  I had to shovel the driveway and sidewalks and then I showed my girls how to build a snowman.  We had an absolute blast rolling the snowballs.  I was really worried about how I was going to get the middle ball on because it was so big.  I got one of the girls sleds and rolled the ball up,  It took a couple tries before I got it on.  What a great workout!  The girls wanted to make it a pirate snow girl, and so we did.  Our patch's were all packed up, but luckily we had Maddie's pirate princess hat from her Halloween costume this year in our dress up chest.  The girls named her Courtney Bell Rainbow Sparkly the Pirate Princess Snow girl.  Kenzie put a lot of thought into the first part of the name, and Maddie just blurts out Rainbow Sparkly.  It's hilarious, she is obsessed with anything rainbow, or sparkly.  I love it!  I think she turned out pretty cute, we did an awesome job building her.  We finished off the day by sledding in our backyard, it's nice to have a little hill.  What an awesome day to spend quality time with my girls!
