Snow Day Part Deux

We got another snow day! Not only that, but we got Daddy all to ourselves for the entire day! It was a powdery snow, so we couldn't build a snowman or throw snowballs. But we still had fun. Emma did awesome making a snow angel. She looked so cute in her snow pants and light up boots.

Happy Birthday, Jesus

Such a good helper!

We have started a new tradition of baking a birthday cake for Jesus. Emma enjoys helping to make the cake, decorating the cake, singing "happy birthday" to Jesus, and eating the cake.

The aftermath

Daddy got a marshmallow gun - or as Emma calls it "pooh gun"

A few days after Christmas, the fam loaded up the old front wheel drive sleigh and headed up to PA to visit Papa and Gramma. It was a relaxing trip, and everybody enjoyed themselves. Emma was very excited to wake up to presents...again!

White Day After Christmas!!!

Waiting patiently

Her new boots - they light up!

All ready to play!

Our neighbors came over to help us finish our snowman, then we went over to their house to build one. But the snow was just not cooperating, so we just threw snowballs at each other.

It was so wonderful to see their interaction with Emma. Most people will say hi to her or give her a hug, but never really PLAY with her. It was awesome!

Our snowman!

The night of Christmas it started to snow. Snow! Charlotte has not seen a white Christmas in 60+ years. I didn't want to put too much stock into what the weathermen were predicting b/c I didn't want to be disappointed if nothing happened. But it did. We received around 3 1/2 inches, and it was even cold enough that the snow stuck around for the day. So pretty to see it on the trees. I have missed snow. I was so appreciative that the Lord would bless us in such a little way.
