Snow Day!

It very rarely snows here in southern AZ. However, it does tend snow in the mountains that is about an hour away.

So we can see the snow-top mountains from our home. And everyday the kids ask to go up the mountain to play in the snow.

We had time today and Husband was home. So we went. We borrowed sleds from our neighbor and took some snacks and went up the mountain.

We had a blast! The kids had a small snowball fight, made a snowman, and sledded all up down the hills. Thanks to our neighbor, we had an off the way place with no one else there.

Here are the pictures from the snow-day.











And because this is my sewing blog...and I love to sew...this is the winter coat (yes, it does get cold enough for a coat from about Novemeber - February) that I made the 4 year old. I embroidered the cupcakes and used some leftover cupcake material for the facings and covered buttons. It is pink fleece. Just a basic coat pattern for a little girl.
