Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Sunday afternoon we got our first real snow of the season. I was excited for Abby to see the snow when she woke up from her nap, since she obviously had no clue about her original first snow when she was 2 months old last year! =) But Abby wasn't too overjoyed. She couldn't walk in her boots in the snow very well and kept falling down which she didn't like. And she kept brushing the snow off her boots as if it annoyed her that it stuck to them. Guess next year will be the time she'll really enjoy it. =)

Here's a few pictures of our Christmas lights this year. We haven't put this many up since the first year we were married, but we decided it was worth all the trouble to get them all out for Abby's sake. And she does LOVE the lights!




You can't really tell from the picture, but the long line of lights is a "river" (blue lights with twinkling clear lights in between) and the white blob is a deer drinking from the stream. Abby's favorite thing about the lights is definitely the deer. =) It's too bad our second deer didn't work after sitting in the garage attic all these years.

As I write, snow is again falling from the sky. During the night about 3 inches arrived and it looks like it's not going to let up soon. Maybe we will try to take Abby out in it again and maybe she will enjoy it more the second time around. At the very least, I've been trying to talk Kevin into building Abby a snowman today that she can look at from the window....we shall see. =)

Your lights look great! So, did Kevin build Abby a snowman? Andrew and the kids were going to make one for Grandma, but the snow didn't pack very well here. Rachel was successful at making a blob in the front yard, but that is as far as she got!

Abby's hat is so cute! And hour house looks lovely. My mom said she was the only dark house on the block so she was 'guilted' into decorating a bit too. :) Yeah for Christmas.
