A magical day!

What a beautiful day! It’s amazing what a magical snow storm will do to brighten up your day. Today really was so enjoyable. I started the day by reading a letter from my best friend, visiting my family and singing Christmas songs. The day only got better when it started to snow unbelievably hard. Within a matter of minutes it seemed, the world was covered in a blanket of sparkling white. Breezy, Natalie and I happily listened to Christmas music while we drove in the beautiful snow storm. We went holiday shopping, picked up some pizza and then bundled up warm. Kyler, Heidi, Seth and his friend Amy all joined us around 6:15 for the best sledding day I have ever had! We sped down the hill and had snowball fights galore. Despite the cold weather we stayed quite warm sliding down hills, throwing snowballs, and making snow angels. Afterward, Breezy and I worked on a secret Christmas operation and then built a snowman! We came home and sipped hot chocolate while we watched a wonderfully cute Christmas movie. Ahhhhh, what a day! Snow really makes things magical!
