Snow days are here again.....

Over the last couple of days, we have gotten about 4 to 5 inches of snow. Last night, it snowed most of the night, the kids were so excited about the idea of being able to play in the snow again. Not only are AJ and Ashleigh excited about the snow, but Diamond goes crazy in it also. She is like a lunatic out in it. She dives, eats and throws snow all around. This morning, Rick and I went out to shovel the driveway and we let AJ, Ashleigh and, of course, Diamond come out with us. Here are some pictures from this morning. Look at how much fun they had.

Nobody wanted to come inside but everyone was starting to get really cold. And we know from experience that the kids would stay out all day if they could.

Yesterday, I had my Christmas party at work. We generally have an afternoon party and it always a surprise to the employees where we are going. Yesterday, our Christmas party was at Chicago Indoor Racing Company (http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com/). The entire staff went go karting. We were split into 7 teams and we raced against each other. We have a pit crew and everything. We had to dress up in the racing suits, head sock, helmet and neck brace. It was awesome. Everyone had a great time. Although my team did not win, we still have fun racing. Everyone enjoyed themselves! When I got home, I told Rick this was definitely a place to go back too, especially for him. They even have a junior area for kids 7 - 17 years old which is great for AJ. If I can get some pictures from other people at work, I will post them.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! We are getting ready to go out Christmas shopping!
