snow + cheesecake = perfect day



today we woke up to everything covered with snow. it was beautiful! the kids were bouncing off the walls to build a snowman so they cleaned the house super fast this morning. steve is very good (ok, ANAL) about shoveling the drive, walkway & sidewalk before anyone can drive or walk on it. so he was heading out first thing this morning, when one of our neighbors came by with his 4-wheeler & did our driveway (thanks Bryan!) so, after steve shoveled the sidewalk & walkway he couldn't believe how heavy & wet the snow was - perfect for building a snowman. so, we went out with plans to build a snowman... but got distracted with making snow angels in the snow then a big snowball fight.





i am not sure who liked it more zoe or brock? it was great to see zoe running around like a puppy again - her arthritis medication has really made a big difference. the kids were running around throwing snowballs & she tried to catch them like a real ball then it would bust. everyone thought it was funny especially brock.



we had plans with 2 other couple to go to dinner at Cheesecake Factory... YES, we FINALLY got one in Utah it opened in Nov. Steve & I have tried to eat their with the kids several times for the last couple weeks & it has been a 3-3.5 hour wait every time. so, we got our name on the list at 4:15 & all went at 7. we only had to wait about 20 minutes - it was so yummy. the cheesecake factory is my most favorite restaurant EVER - in our travels, we have always tried to hit them whenever we can. it is great to have one just 15 minutes away!
