my little snow angel

What a crazy week! I took the day off Monday and then school was canceled the rest of the week. So, I literally didn't go to work at all this week. It was ah-mazing! Lilly and I just hung out, rested, relaxed, and played. We hadn't really left the house since Monday until today when we woke up to THIS...

and yes... we still have some Christmas lights up. We'll blame the delay on getting them down on the weather. :)

We've had a little bit of cabin fever so we had to go outside and enjoy the winter wonderland of probably at least 6-8 inches of snow. Jeremiah stayed home from work today for the first time all week and we had so much fun with just the three of us. We loved playing out in the snow and Jere helped Lilly make snow angels!

I love Lilly's snow gear and it really has come in handy this winter! 

Mocha was dying to get outside so she came out and played in the snow with us! As you can see L loves to watch Mocha and thinks she is so fascinating!

Mocha loved the snow and immediately found her toy that was completely buried. I don't know how she does it. No matter what the weather this girl loves to play fetch! She looks like a grizzly bear frolicking out in the snow.

I thought at one point Jere was going to kill me for suggesting the idea of building a snowman... but he did such a great job and was glad he did it in the end. For the rest of the afternoon he kept saying, "the snowman is awesome!" Lilly loved it and he made it especially for her! The snowman has chocolate covered pecans for eyes, a lifesaver for a nose, and hot tamales for her big smile. :)

 


This was hilarious! As we were taking pics, Lilly started touching the snowman and playing with the snow. You can see her facial expressions change in the sequence of pictures below. She was so intrigued and fascinated at first, then confused as to why her hand was getting cold and it was uncomfortable. She couldn't make the connection and kept touching the snow, then she started crying and mom had to come to the rescue to comfort her. We toasted her back up and she was back to smiles in no time!

I love these two! I also love L's Patagonia long underwear and cute winter hat. They are sooo snuggly!
