Ok, so I know this is late, but just wanted to share some cute winter photos of Blake and some of our great snow. Hopefully we won't have to refer to it as our only great snow of the winter of 2012/2013!
So, I decided to take Blake out in the snow and get some pictures for our Christmas card. I then ordered the cards and wouldn't you know, the very next day we got DUMPED on. Oh well, at least it was white in the background!
One of my absolute favorite things is to be snowed in. Scott's final was canceled, so it was a true snow day in that sense! We really enjoyed spending time together in our warm house and frequently watching the snow blanket the yard in all its beauty. At times like these, it is easy to thank God for his marvelous creation!

| Child's wonder at the outdoors. Wish I still had that for my front yard! |
 |
| Thinking he can take off by himself... |
 |
| I seriously can't get enough of this kid!! |
 |
| I was disappointed he was so washed out in this photo. This would have made it to our Christmas card, otherwise! |
 |
| Our little family--makes me happy. |
 |
| The great 18" snow of 2012!! It was just gorgeous. |

And, this wouldn't be a complete post without mentioning Blake's first sledding trip the day after the snow. Scott was bound and determined to take the little guy out, and wouldn't you know it, Mom had to come with. Let's just say I was still in my "snowed in" mindset which meant I wanted to be warm and cozy. Anyways, we ventured out to the park (the backyard wasn't good enough). :)
 |
| Yay, look how much fun Blake is having! |
 |
| Again Daddy, again! |
 |
| Blake didn't have a scarf and it was windier than we expected, so we put Scott's neck warmer around his neck. He couldn't move. :) |
 |
| Face of pure joy. |
 |
| Me and my baby. Note that we were walking through the park in deep snow, no plowed trails or anything.... |
 |
| Hmmm, note to self. Don't wear Scott's hat again and make myself look like a cone head.... |
 |
| This is our "mad at Daddy" face for making us come out here |
 |
| Blake, should we try that again? |
 |
| "Mad at Daddy" face, take 2. |
 |
| This is the new path we found on the way back...better? I guess...slightly...but it WAS beautiful!! |
 |
| Trying unsuccessfully to get a picture of the depth by taking a picture of my boot... |
 |
| Mailbox on our walk back. |
 |
| Yay! We're home! |
