SNOW much FUN!!!

It dawned another dazzling snowy day over here!!

We had to get out quick because this one was going to melt fast!! 
STUNNING!!!! 
πŸ’₯πŸ’ͺ😁  They scraped every square inch of snow within a mile to make that πŸ‘‡!!   πŸ’₯πŸ’ͺ😁




It all disappeared quickly, but it was fun while it lasted!!

Valentine's sweetness!

First up: 
From our Heavenly Father's heart of LπŸ’–VE, He blessed us with gorgeous snow!!!
Absolutely majestic!!

I was very sick on Valentine's day, so my sweet family made me feel SO LOVED!! 

Natalie helped the little boys make me cards and deliver them to me in bed...πŸ’•πŸ’•
Then in came my wonderful hubby from doing our grocery shopping for the week because I couldn't - with this surprise...
Joshua had snuck off in his new found driving freedom and gotten Natalie and I both the kindest cards!
😍😍  It was quite a spread and made for a very cheerful sickroom!! 😍😍
Andrew was very good company driving on meπŸ‘† and reading and re-reading my cards πŸ˜‚

And as for the teen-angels, they had a VERY FUN and special day!!
YMA was first and then a Valentine's Day Party afterwards!
Hmmmm...yes, this was actually Natalie's party but Joshua was driving her, so the host family very graciously allowed him to come and do his schoolwork during the girls time...but as you may notice, he seemed to have slipped away from his laptop a time or two πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

(πŸ‘‡Working hard on school, see?!πŸ˜†)
They had a wonderful time and were thoroughly stuffed, blessed and loved by friends!!  We are so thankful to Joshua for being willing to drive Natalie!

πŸ’•πŸ’–πŸ’•πŸ’–πŸ’•πŸ’–πŸ’•

And on the last note of SUPER-BLESSING is that because I was sick, our dear grandparents stayed an extra day to drive James to his medical appointments which was a TREMENDOUS help to our family!!  He had a blast getting extra fun and special time with them and we were so thankful for the help when we truly needed it!!! πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡ God is SO GOOD.  
(Does he look like he had fun?!  He always has fun, he's the most fun-loving, excitable guy we know!!😁 What a gift!)
