It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It snowed today. It was our first snow of the year. I brought Emily to the living room window to see the falling snow. She stared for a moment, not sure what she was looking at. We went outside to get a closer look. Emily was very excited by the whole experience. She started flapping her hands up and down. She had fun trying to "catch" the snowflakes and watching it melt away in her hand. We came back inside to warm up and I put Emily down for a nap. It continued to snow most of the day. When she woke from her nap everything was covered in a thin layer of white and the flakes had become larger. I took her over to the window to she the snow and then went back outside for a second round of "catch the snowflake". She also tried standing in the snow. It was really fun! She kept returning to the window all day to see the snow!

Later, we were finishing up some Christmas decorating and Emily found a Santa hat. I put it on her head. A huge grin spread across her face! I took her outside to take some pictures in the snow with her new hat.

Baby, it's COLD outside!

Burrrr......
