Snow Day 1

Picture overload commencing... I mean Snow in Charleston, SC never happens so we had LOTS of fun and took lots of pictures!
The house Before. 
 I had to work from home so I was up super early. Once the sun was up I took Teddy for a walk before the ice came. Thank God I did because he was not a fan! 
 I watched the news was on for the entire day so we knew when to expect the snow and how the city was being affected. 
Icicles! They were gorgeous!!

 My car was solid ice!

 Looking outside as the snow was starting to fall, she was so excited. I made them wait until there was truly accumulation on the ground before we went out to play. So I think it was around 2 before we actually ventured outside. They had the BEST time! Alayna was not a fan of being so cold so she did the snow in spurts.  The rest of the pictures can pretty much speak for themselves. 



 
 He was not a fan haha
 Snow angels!



 Two of the little girls across the street came out to play and had no gloves on they were almost in tears because their hands hurt but they wanted to play. Needless to say we gave away two pairs of gloves that day. 

 We ventured inside at this point to warm back up, put clothes in the dryer and add more layers to what we were wearing.  
 I loved the snow!!! 



 
 


 




 I loved seeing my house covered in snow, so pretty!



 The kids and I were going to build a snowman but they gave up on me so hubby came to help. The snow was so fluffy it was almost impossible to build a good one but we got a decently fat one. 

 
 A beer while cooking dinner that night, we had delicious meatloaf because Logan has requested it for weeks now. 
 After dinner we went out for a drive and it was beautiful and SO peaceful out. Hardly any cars as well so it was great. Only a few times did the car slide but nothing terrible. We all were happy to get out the house and getting to see our city covered in snow was fun!

Day 1 was great!! I have a decent amount of pictures left to post but I think this was definitely the majority. It was just too beautiful not to take a million pictures. Believe it or not I have deleted a TON! haha

31st Birthday and a few extras

 The Friday before my birthday we let Isabelle spend the night with us. The girls found a few photo opps at the Tanger outlets.  
 Logan and his light up shoes! haha 
 My new workout shirt Dave got me for Christmas! I love it, so comfy!
 The morning of my birthday we got ready for church, Alayna and her doll decided to match.
 We grabbed some doughnuts on the way home. 
 Logan helping me cook the chili. 

Later that afternoon I went to get the cookie cake from the mall with Alayna. We went to Victoria Secret for a few new bras with their awesome sale and she got some perfume. I let her play for a bit then I started to feel kinda bad. Little did I know I was getting sick, I am still not sure if it was a legit stomach virus or food poisoning. It hit me hard less than an hour before everyone arrived and I was hoping for the best after downing some pepto. 

My birthday did not turn out the way I had hoped considering I had to use the bathroom too many times to count then one time puked. ay ay ay puking is the WORST but I was so happy to have my mommy there. Even at 31 you still want your mommy when you feel like your dying sick in the bathroom. 

Luckily I was able to rally after that and got to enjoy my party! I was so scared everyone was going to leave which I mean I wouldn't blame them but they love me and stayed!
 I loved my cake, it was so pretty! 

 Love this lady!!
My sister got us the fun photobooth background and props, it was a fun addition to my party. 

 My aunt and uncle got these awesome light up balloons, I enjoyed them even when I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. They were so cool to look out the window and see. Such pretty colors!! They had light up balls on the ground too and light up necklaces and bracelets. 
 Handsome little man, he even gave me some birthday snuggles. 
 The crazies!



 My aunt and uncle also brought some fireworks, they were awesome!! It was SOOOOOO cold outside so I mostly watched from inside. Normally the cold doesn't bother me too much but I think because I wasn't feeling good it was bothering me more than normal. They were just as pretty inside.  



 The girls and their "wine" aka welchs sparking grape juice. ay ay ay so Alayna told her teacher when she got back from break that she had ALCOHOL!! I about died but I think everything was ok after her mom talked to me and found out what happened. lol note to self make sure the kids know it is NOT real!
 Mini photoshoot with my husband! So thankful for this man!

 
 Hugging Josh before he left! They were so silly. 
 

 Krystal and Oliver came by after most everyone had left besides my parents and sis!
 See. The balloons looking cool!! I love them!! They flew away in the night though, I was sad they were gone the next morning. 
 New years day morning snuggles with daddy! After breakfast I had a minor boost of energy and we took down and put away ALL our Christmas decorations. I was so sad to see them go but also it was a nice refreshing feeling at the same time. 
Later this day Dave started to feel super sick like a cold and I was still feeling SO weak from the events of the day before. He slept almost all day in the recliner and I layed in bed watching movies all day. The kids luckily were pretty good for us and we just let them do whatever they wanted. 

The next day was much better. We hung around the house then went to Nini and Papas later. 
 Alayna and I put this pillow together she got for Christmas. No clue who gave her this but it was fun, we did it together and she loves it!
Picked up Oliver and headed to hang out with the fam for the evening.

 The next day we got SNOW!! I have a million snow pictures and I may just post them all because I can't pick favorites!
