Snow day

We got our first big snowfall of the season on Saturday, December 1st. We decided to lay low that day, but on Sunday, we ventured out. After spending a whole day running errands, Erin was sick and tired of her car seat, and even more sick of waking up in new and different places. Of course, when we finally got home, we couldn't leave well enough alone. We got Erin all bundled up in her snow suit, and headed out to the middle of our cul de sac, where they plow all the snow into one big pile. It makes it look like we got a lot more snow than we did.


Erin really wasn't so sure about what was going on. Her snowsuit is a little big on her, so she can't sit as well as she usually does and she can't really move her arms very much. So we had to make do with just lying her down on the snow pile.

We tried to get some cute pictures of her propping herself up in the snow, but she face planted the first time and I wasn't fast enough to get a picture. The poor girl had snow on her nose and was quite upset about how cold it was. At least we didn't have to worry about her trying to eat it!

Our neighbor spotted us outside and was kind enough to offer to take a family picture. Too bad Erin isn't smiling, but I think the confused look suits her. :)

Erin was finally able to lie down and just enjoy it. She looks so peaceful in this picture, and I just love the red nose and cheeks. We didn't have her outside for more than a total of 15 minutes! It may be something like torture for her, but I think the pictures are worth it and I think she'll like them when she gets older!
