The girls built a great fort in ms marylins yard (our neighbor), while across the street the boys just stockpiled snow for snow ball wars. It was at least two hours of building and shouting "ready??" While the other group responded "no!!"
Finally the show down started and the girls were ultimately more prepared. They took shelter in their fort and threw snowballs across the street. I'm not sure if a winner was ever declared!
Because it was so nice out, I stayed out with the kids all morning. A neighbor and I kept an eye on each other building snowmen from down the street. Both of us continuing to add to ours, as neither of us wanted to be outdone!
It was a great day! To complete the day, I was blessed to become the godmother of the most adorable baby boy, Matthew Charles. He is the son of our own children's godfather! It was a beautiful service and little Matthew is such precious baby. It was so cool to be a witness to his baptism, which was total immersion...a bit scary for a little baby and for all of us too!! But It felt very special to be a part of his ceremony. Matthew did a great job and it brought back great memories of baptizing my own children. It's funny how when I was a kid, I would be so disappointed to see a church baptism. It added at least 10 minutes to the service!! But now, I look forward to every part of it, even when I don't even know the child. It's such a beautiful thing to watch and we all can feel a spiritual part of that child as he/she becomes part of the church community. Afterwards we all had a fun time catching up with everyone at Macs party! Hopefully I can include a picture of him sometime soon!
