SNOW day

Living in MN, we shouldn't be too surprised to see snowflakes falling in December...but we apparently had some catching up to do from last year's less than snow filled winter.  Late Saturday evening, the snow started to fall - and it didn't stop until sometime Sunday evening - the Twin Cities got somewhere between 15-18" of snow!  Since the roads weren't the best to brave, we took advantage on Sunday and had our first official 'snow day' with Adilyn.  Last year she was just learning to walk and the snow wasn't as abundant - so it was REALLY fun to see her reaction to this white stuff covering every surface! 
She loved it!!  

But first - can't forget trimming the tree (I set up the tree and strung the lights before anyone else got home) -but Adi helped with the finishing touches.  She's now become aware of some of the wrapped boxes sitting underneath the tree - so I'm thinking she will enjoy that part of the Holiday this year too!

enjoying a Holiday treat!

oh and some Christmas card 'outtakes' - Adi is in her "cheesy" smile phase...hard to find one without it! 

then we were getting restless... 

always time for a quick snuggle with Daddy 

ok - I think this means we're done! 

snow started falling... 

checking things out 

Cade just happened to be stalking something in the neighbor's yard... 

this was about 3 seconds later - notice, no dog.

even Mom took a shot at the sled! 

walking the fine line of fear and joy! 

oh and this is what happens when you don't upload pictures from both cameras frequently enough - a couple of pics of Adi's swimming lesson experience with Daddy 

well I can't guarantee we will have frequent updates leading up to Christmas - but wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday season!
