Hello Winter!

Nice to finally see you!  I can understand why some people aren't a fan of winter because of slippery roads for driving and the bitter cold, but if you have nowhere to go, how can you not love this?

After a pretty "crappy" week (pun intended) of me being home sick two days from a stomach virus and having to spend part of Thursday morning at the beautifully re-done U of M Women's Hospital, it was really refreshing to wake up Saturday morning to see that it was snowing!  We took Sean outside to play in the snow for the first time and while he wasn't a fan of getting all the gear on to go outside, but once we got out there he truly loved it!  We put the sled from Nana and Papa to good use and Scott got in some light exercise running around pulling Sean in the sled.  Heck, even Bailey enjoyed herself trying to catch Sean in his sled!


  
There's nothing quite like that first sizable snowfall.  Stepping outside and hearing how quiet and serene it is when it snows.  The sounds it makes when you crunch your way around the yard.  The brightness that makes your eyes water.  Seeing your breath.  It was a beautiful morning!  And even though it was really cold, one of my favorite parts is coming inside, making hot chocolate, and warming up!  Sean, Scott, and I all sport the wind burn on our faces today as proof that we enjoyed this snowfall!  

As our 3 year anniversary of our wedding approaches in the next week and a half, I can't help but throw out a few oldies, but goodies to show my appreciation of the winter months and January!

Now...how about a snow day????
