Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I'm taking a quick break from playing to post some pictures of the snow that fell over the weekend! It was the first time I've seen real snow, and boy, did we get a lot of it! When I went out to play in it, I wasn't sure what to think - it was cold, white, and flying everywhere in the wind, drifting so high that it was above my head in some parts of our yard. I thought the coolest part was the big black snow boots that Mommy and Daddy got me to wear - I clomped up and down the sidewalk for a long time (at least until my nose was running too much and Mommy said it was time to go back inside!)


This is Daddy when he was shoveling the path in front of our house - it was already pretty
deep, and it hadn't even finished snowing yet!


Here I am, out playing in the snow the next day. See how deep it got?! More importantly,
do you like my cool black snow boots?


I played in the snow a little bit, but it was really cold! I also couldn't do much in the huge
blue mittens I was wearing... like my hands are that big!


I'm still not sure about the snow - it seemed kinda fun, and Mommy and Daddy started
talking about a "snowman," which sounded pretty cool, but I never saw him. Maybe next
time it snows I'll find out more about that...


After a while, I'd had enough - it was time to go inside for some hot chocolate!


Speaking of hot chocolate, I'd better go make sure we have enough to make for Santa when he comes to visit in a couple of days. I can't wait until Christmas!!

Holiday Excitement!

So according to Mommy and Daddy, Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! I thought I'd share some pictures of us getting ready for Santa to visit.



This is our tree - Mommy and Daddy won't let me touch anything, but it's really pretty to look at!



I like the Elmo ornament the best!



It's really cool when we turn off all the lights and the tree glows...




Mommy found some Christmas-y Elmo jammies for me - they're a little bit big still, but I don't care!



Mommy thinks I'm cute...



I had to have a serious talk with Puff about not chewing on the Christmas tree... I think he got the message!



It snowed a little bit last week, so I've been spending a lot of time at the front door waiting for
it to snow again...



...then I got bored waiting for the snow and decided to carry my sippy cup around with my teeth :)



It's really exhausting getting ready for Christmas!


Until next time, stay warm and safe, and remember to bake your cookies to put out for Santa!
