SNOW!!!

We finally have snow! Miss AJ has been so anxious and has been talking of sledding since she and Daddy saw sleds while Christmas shopping. When we woke up to snow this morning she could hardly contain her excitement! It was still coming down and Adam suggested she go look, a minute later when we peeked in on her in the living room she was busy putting on her snowsuit over her pjs. We talked her out of going out then, saying we weren't ready and it was way to cold. After lunch we went to town and got what we need for AJ's sledding adventure. Sleds, snow boots, and a new snowsuit (we'll save the other one for her future skiing adventure). She couldn't do much more than waddle all bundled up, but I do believe she'll be warm. When we got home she and Daddy tried out one of the new sleds, but not more that 5 minutes, a little girl has no business being out any longer in 5 degree weather! But she is contented to wait for warmer weather, she laid down for her nap (in her pink big girl bed) a very happy little girl! What joy I feel to see my little girl so happy, there is nothing better than seeing her little face shine.

On a side note, as her crazy (because of the cold) daddy left to deer hunt this afternoon, this is what AJ told him, very matter of fact, "When I get bigger, I'm going to have a shootgun, a pink one!"

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and has a happy New Year!

Love,
