Playing in the Snow

We hardly get any snow here in the winter, and Charlotte gets even less than we do, but as luck would have it, it started snowing on Christmas night and snowed into the morning the day after Christmas. Of course we had to take Ella out for some fun in the snow!

All bundled up

Grampy G showed her how to make a snow angel


She's got the hang of it!

The snow was a really neat surprise and a fun addition to our trip!

Steve's Birthday and Snow!

Steve's birthday was this past Saturday, January 30. Since it fell on a weekend, we had big plans for a night out and Dad and Donna were going to come up for the night to watch Ella for us. Well....the best laid plans, right?

It started snowing on Friday night and by the time we went to bed there was about an inch or so on the ground and when we woke up on Saturday morning there were about 4 inches. It was sleeting by then and sleeted most of the day so the roads were really bad. This is a big deal around here!

Ella couldn't wait to get outside and check out the snow first thing Saturday morning























And here are some videos that Steve put together of Ella's adventures in the snow!






Ella and I baked a cake for Steve's birthday, here is my assistant baker hard at work

Even though it was not how we expected to spend Steve's birthday, we had a really nice day and spent lots of time with just the 3 of us. Church was canceled on Sunday and we didn't leave the house once the whole weekend, we were snowed in!!
