Yesterday, we woke up to a winder wonderland! Of course, we haven't had any snow since right before Halloween and the one day we had planned to take a drive to New Jersey to visit some old friends, the roads are all snowy. It truly is such a beautiful sight when you haven't seen it in a while, but I tend to get all freaked out driving in it! Luckily for me, New York has had a very mild winter so far;) I just want to curl up on the couch under a blanket and watch movies all day! I don't know what my deal is, like Erik says..."Lex, you grew up in the snow...did life just stop when the weather was like this?" Guess it's just getting older....you get a little more paranoid about stuff! I do, anyways.
We decided to play it by ear. Erik headed out to see how the roads were and went to register Costa for little league. He came back just as the snow was stopping and said he thought it would be fine. They only live about an hour and a half away in New Jersey. Alrighty then, we packed up real quick and we were off!
It was a quick easy drive, even with the weather being yucky and I was so happy my husband called the ball and we went! It's so cool to have my old friend, Brianna and her husband Curt live close. I'm so happy we've kept in touch through the years and have got a chance to catch up. They don't have any kids yet, so they were super brave to have us and our three kids! It's kind of a lot! They recently got a new puppy, Paisley. A weimarainer! Aaahhh, made us think of our old girl Dulce:) The kids loved her and had a blast playing with her.
We just went for the night, so it was a super quick trip. We had a fun saturday afternoon catching up over margaritas and appetizers at one of their favorite mexican restuarants. It was nice to actually have some decent mexican food! That night, Brianna made us a delicious lasagne dinner and we spent more time talking and drinking wine. Erik was in heaven with all the cool beers Curt kept bringing out for him to try. Fun times!
The next morning the kids were eager to get out and play in the snow before it was all melted away. Even Crew had some fun in the snow, his first time! The kids had fun throwing the ball for Paisley and making snow angels.

After awhile, we headed out to get some lunch and then decided we should get on the road to get back home. It was such a fun 24 hours! Thanks Brianna and Curt for a fun time in Jersey!
