Snow Day and Random Pictures

   A few weeks ago, Ashlyn and I got a surprise snow day!  On Monday night it started snowing pretty hard and we had our fingers crossed for a snow day.  Both of our districts called it that night so we got to sleep in!  I usually tutor all day on Tuesdays, so Dawson and Gracie still went to daycare.  Ashlyn and I got the rare treat of getting to spend an entire day just the two of us.  We read books, baked cookies, watched Christmas movies, and played a lot of rounds of Mall Madness.  Ashlyn finished the day with some play time in the snow.  It was a perfect snow day!
    I also attached some random pictures from the last few weeks that were on the camera.

Look at all that snow!

Snow angel time!

She had a blast!

While I was work, Joey was home with Gracie.  He found her on the couch like this.

Ashlyn's Party

    Ashlyn's birthday pretty much lasted all weekend.  On Saturday morning, she had her birthday party with her friends from school.  Saturday afternoon, Uncle Steven took her to Build a Bear at the mall and she got to build a special cat.  On Saturday night, we went and saw the Peanuts movie which we all enjoyed.  On Sunday morning, Papa DeLorme drove down and took Ashlyn to lunch and shopping just the two of them.  What a weekend she had!  She is one lucky girl for sure.
    For Ashlyn's friend party, she decided to have her party at Itz.  It is a big arcade type place with lots of games, rides, etc.  The party was a lot of fun.  She invited four of her best girlfriends.  They got to eat pizza and cake and then they got to go play.  They had so much fun.  All of her guests kept commenting how much fun they were having.  It was definitely a success of a party.  When we got in the car, Ashlyn declared it the best party she had ever been to.  What a great time!

Ashlyn's cake.  I wish I could say I made it, but I paid someone to make it.  It turned out great and was so tasty.

Crazy boys

She got to pick what ride they got to ride first.  She picked the bumper cars.  Those girls giggled and laughed the entire time.  

Ashlyn got to go into the ticket blaster.  It looked like a lot of fun.

Dawson about died of excitement when he saw this game.  He played it pretty much the entire time.

They even had special areas for Gracie to play in.
