The thing about life is, you never know when it's going to be a party!

This is one of my favorite lines from The Homecoming.      We had a very unexpected snowstorm yesterday and dear friend Holly could not drive home so she and three of her children came home with us to stay the night.    We put on a big pot of soup, cut up some fruit, made cookies & popcorn, watched movies, made crafts, played cards, hide & seek and just enjoyed having a house full of friends.    The kids piled up in the living room on couches and pallets to sleep.   Holly managed to survive in a house full of cats by taking a couple of Zyrtec.    Alyssa and Ari made us some muffins this morning and the kids had some more fun in the snow.    We were all a bit sad to see the roads clear and our friends head home this afternoon.
