Snow Day!!

We had SO much snow! I would say at the end of it all, we had about 7 inches! I was very pretty out and I couldn't wait to get the dogs and Noah out in it. Except Mr. Grumpy pants here had other idea's. It was just like A Christmas Story when the mom puts layers of stuff on her kid and then he cries at the end. That was Noah.

I thought once we got out and played he would have a great time with us.

Not so much.

We even pulled out all the stops and went sledding. Still Mr. Grumpy prevailed.

Daddy built a mini snow man...still not gonna have fun. It was Tony and I who had the most fun outside. I think it took 30 minutes to get everyone dressed, and 7 until we were all back inside. In Noah's defense though, he is getting his 4 new teeth in at the same time and they are bugging him!

But we pressed on and later went on our annual trip to St. Nicks Tree farm! We love it here!

Every year we get a tractor ride down to the tree's. It was dark, rainy, and very cold this year.

Again, here is last year. I think I am sitting in the same spot too. And fancy that, I have the same jacket on as always....Oh Santa....:)

Look how tiny he is! But we got him to look at the camera at least.

Noah watches Daddy saw the tree down with his big, tired eyes.

Going, going...

Timber! We saw this tree and cut it down in record time. We just loved it.

As we were walking back, I finally got a smile! Noah loved the wind in his face and there was plenty of that.

Our tree all ready to go!

Once we got back that is when Noah decided he wanted to go play in the snow. That lasted a whole minute and inside we went.

The night before we went and got Ali from a friends house. She was stranded with the snow. So she just spend the night with us and had pancake breakfast the next morning.

Noah was in perfect show off form this morning. He loves his yogurt, and he loves to wash his own hair, and today those two things collided.

Check out the new dew!

Later he found my headband put it on and went on to his normal routine. I think he might have forgotten that he had it there. He was playing around with it on for like 30 minutes. Oh, I was laughing the whole time.

Guns and headbands....who knew?

We also got the dogs a HUGE dog crate for bedtime. Noah loves it in here. It is so hard to teach him not to play in it.

So proud he snuck in.

Another amazing thing happened...I asked Noah if he wanted to take a bath and he grabbed a towel I had just folded and went to walk up stairs. He was just waiting for me to catch up with him! I love how much he is learning and how little by little his is becoming independent!

I asked him to smile for the camera. Can you see all the teeth in there? He is about to have 16!!!
