Remember how I was talking about how beautiful the weather has been lately? Yeah, that's totally over with. Today is a nasty, windy, blizzard, with about 3 inches of snow already on the the ground. Yuck. We were supposed to head to Minnesota today, but the weather is just too bad. And it's even worse in Minnesota. So, I guess we will hit the road in the morning.
I do have two little kiddos around here that have been super excited about the snow all day. Emma had to get all suited up and go out and "shovel" snow at 8:00 this morning. And she just totally loved it and ate it up. Elliott kept pointing out the window and saying "snow". We actually just got back in the house after bundling up both kids and letting them play outside a little. Elliott enjoyed it until the wind started hitting him in the face and then he got cold and crabby. Emma continued to love it. She ate some snow. She shoveled some more snow. And then she jumped in some snow. She was being pretty adorable in the snow.
We also have already been in Christmas mode over here. Emma couldn't contain her excitement, and she convinced us to set up the Christmas Tree and put up the lights outside. Emma was so very excited to help decorate and hang ornaments on the tree. She "can't wait to see what presents Santa will bring!" Christmas is going to be a TON of fun this year. Also on the agenda for the holiday season is looking at Christmas lights, making Christmas cookies, listening to Christmas music, which I have been doing already, and sledding! I love this time of year, especially with little kids that really appreciate all the little things the holidays have to offer.
Tomorrow we are heading to my parent's house to celebrate Elliott's birthday with the family. Then, Sunday is going to be out Thanksgiving celebration with the extended family. I am excited to see everyone and eat some delicious food.
Happy first snow of the year :)
