Snowman Night

Brent told me earlier this week that he wanted to have family night on Friday. I was thrilled because that is something that we have always wanted to do, but have never consistently put into practice. All I needed to do was pick up a few things from the grocery store and he planned the rest.

Boy were we in for a treat!

Yesterday he started really hyping our family night up with the girls about our Snowman Night! We were really getting excited because it sounded like a lot of fun. As soon as we were ready to eat dinner the fun began!


We started off by eating snowman soup in our snow clothes. Basically we all put on our hats and scarfs. Although they didn't stay on very long. (snow soup: potato chowder with a carrot for his nose and bacon for his eyes and mouth)


Then we had Snowballs for dessert. (powdered sugar donut holes)




Then we made snowflakes and put them all over the house to give us the "snow" effect. Riley tried to draw her own snowflake considering she is a little too young for scissors. (apparently our home made snowflakes will be the closest thing to the "real" stuff)


After we cleaned up our paper mess, we all enjoyed our Snowman Snack and hot chocolate while we watched Frosty The Snowman. (Our snowman snack was popcorn)

We are already talking about some other activities. Campbell wants to do a camp out and I would like to do a picnic theme.

I didn't realize how much fun we were missing. I can't wait until our next adventure!
