Our Snow Day

It snowed about a foot yesterday.  We just watched it come down all day long.  Brett got to come home a little bit early from work and decided that we were all going to go play in the snow.  He wanted to make sure that Kennedy got to play in her first snow and that I didn't go through another Christmas without having built a snowman.  Kennedy was asleep, so we waited for her to make some noise.  When she finally did, she fell back asleep in this position.

I wonder if maybe this is the reason that she wakes up in the middle of the night.  Maybe she freaks out because she wakes up on her tummy and tries to crawl around the crib.  Anyway, we got her up and into her new snowsuit courtesy of the gift certificate from great-grandma and grandpa Emigh.  It's a real snowsuit too with the overall pants and everything.

She wasn't so thrilled to be stuffed in a pillow essentially and then crammed into her car seat, even if it is a new big girl car seat.

As soon as we started driving to the park it started to snow again, but we decided to play anyway.  Despite the cold and the snow in her face, Kennedy seemed to enjoy herself.

We made a snow baby by throwing her into the snow and just letting her plop.

As I said before, I had never built a snowman, so we had to build one before we could leave.  Here's Kennedy sitting on the bottom ball of the snowman.

I contributed by making the middle ball.

Kennedy was very patient and cold, but all in all we had a successful day in the snow.  I have to say that I can't wait until Christmas so that Kennedy can open all of her presents!
