So this is Christmas...

zoe was going to help wrap presents, but realized that wrapping herself would be a lot more fun.

SNOW DAY!

i love snow! i don't care what anyone says. i'll take it over freezing rain anyday! it makes me feel like a kid again. and with zoe old enough to enjoy it a bit, it's even better. we received an uncanny amount, almost 2 feet!

*The Blue Bomber*

we took zoe sledding today and it was SO fun! she had the biggest smile on her face the whole time. she took a couple tumbles but she is a trooper.

zoe and i ready to go!

this was a seriously big hill for a 19 month old, but hey we're fearless like that

hope you and yours are staying warm this winter. and if you had some snow, i hope you enjoyed that too!
