snow

Saturday morning Maddie and were up early and I couldn't believe how much it was snowing. I couldn't wait for Emma to wake up and see it. She wanted to put her shoes on right away, but I convinced her to wait a little bit.

Okay, this is our Elf on the Shelf (we named him Buddy the Elf). He watches to see if Emma and Maddie are good, and leaves at night to tell Santa the report. Then he is somewhere different in the morning. Emma loves seeing where he moved to each morning. Saturday he wanted to sit by the window so he could see the snow.

Bill took Emma out a little bit later in the morning. She was so bundled up, she honestly had trouble sitting up so I could put on her boots. She was so excited to go outside, but I think she only lasted 10 minutes. It was so cold and windy, she was over it before any real fun began. (And today she wasn't interested in going out. Maybe before it melts we'll get her out there again.)
