snow day #2

Oh no there's snow on my mitten!

It snowed overnight and we actually got some accumulation here in Charlotte. It actually started snowing around 6 last night so when Emilia was going to bed we turned the porch lights on and left her blinds open so she could see the snow falling. It was really beautiful and she kept saying "oh wow!" In our excitment that Emilia might actually see some "significant" snowfall, we ran yesterday afternoon to Blackhawk Hardware to get an inflatable saucer for her to slide on. I even dug out the snowsuit for her. After dropping Marcus off at work, I got her all dressed up and took her outside. Needless to say, she hated every second of it. She started saying "all done" pretty much the moment her feet hit the snow. When her mittens got covered in snow it was really all over with. She much prefered to watch Xander and Graham (a couple of little boys from the neighborhood) sliding down the hill from the "safety" and warmth of the living room windows.








Please note the snowsuit has a pocket for a cell phone!!!








Much happier to be inside (marshmallow from her hot cocoa in her hand. She only ate a bite of it. She just liked holding it for a bit).
Watching the neighborhood go by while sipping a little cocoa.
