Snowball Fight

One of the things on our chain link was to have a snowball fight.

Indoors, with paper.

That's my kind of snowball fight!

We waited for Saylor to go to bed then we got busy!

It was such a fun night.

Full of smiles.

Laughs.

Good memories.

Looking at these pictures makes me realize how much fun we had that night.

Even if the snowball fight only lasted 15 minutes, it was the best 15 minutes of the day.

These 2 laughed so hard.

They played hard.

They made memories together. Our house may not be picked up perfectly.

We may be in our work clothes.

We may be worn out after a long day.

But we made the time for our little guy.

We did something so simple that days later he is still talking about.

We did something that he wants to do over and over again.

We did something that cost us nothing, but that was worth more than a million dollars.

I often hear people say...
I will never be able to buy this or that for my kids.
We will never drive that nice of a car.
We will never live in a house like that.
You know what...neither will we.
My kids will never ride down the street in a brand new fancy SUV.
They will never come home to a big fancy house.
They will never take big, extravagant vacations.
But they will have so much more than that.
They will ride down the street in a car full of conversations, laughing, and love.
They will always come home to house full of family memories.
They will always enjoy a vacation, big or small, with the love and company that mean the most to them.

I know my babies are happy.

I know they are loved.

I know they have everything they will ever need.

And that makes this momma very happy and proud.
