Christmas Fun & My First Snowfall

For Aaron's work Christmas party this year they did a type of Polar Express theme, and it was a lot of fun and a lot of great food. At the end when everyone reached to North Pole Santa came and handed out sleigh bells with red tags that said "believe" to everyone. It was so fun to see Addie's reaction to Santa. Surprisingly she didn't cry but just stared at him. I think it was because she was so tired. Well, she did love the bells he gave her! She had one in each hand and was vigorously ringing them all the way out to the car, and then half way home the ringing stopped. When we got her into the house we saw she had fallen asleep still clutching the bells in her hands! It was so cute, and she still loves to play with them.



We finally had our first real snowfall of the year last night and this morning. It makes everything so beautiful, and now it actually feels like winter & Christmas for that matter. I could not resist introducing Addie to the snow today. We were out and about shopping yesterday when we had some flurries, but nothing started to stick until last night. So I bundled her up and we when outside.



There wasn't a good spot for her to get into the snow out the back door without falling completely into it. So we went out the front door and found the perfect place on the front step.

Trying to eat the snow, but the darn stuff keeps melting to fast!


It wasn't to long and I think her bum started to get cold from sitting on the cement step so we went back inside. She was so excited to be out playing though that I am sure we'll so out again later this afternoon.
