Winter Wonderland


We had our first snow fall last night. When Kaitlyn woke up this morning she said that she couldn't see the grass and she didn't know why, we told her it was snow. They loved seeing it and even did great bundling up warm to go to school in it. We are LOVING having a nice home and a garage with this freezing weather but truthfully this is my favorite way to enjoy the snow, just looking through the window at it!


We "prepared" for this winter wonderland experience by going to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis yesterday. They had a fun winter exhibit with even Santa to visit (Kaitlyn wouldn't sit on his lap but just wanted to wave from the distance). She did enjoy playing in the castle, ice fishing, and going down the slide.





We also enjoyed getting in the mood by going to Purdue on Monday and watching them put up the Christmas tree. It is quite the tradition - it is gigantic! It was fun to watch and fun to even see the kids' little friends there: Collin, Katherine, and Benjamin.

What a fun sight! I think we kind of miss seeing the snow - maybe we'll get a white Christmas in Utah. That tree at Purdue looks pretty sweet! We miss you guys!

It was lightly snowing all day today... wasn't quite so pretty having to catch glimpses of it through office windows I passed by, but hey, it means it's Christmas time finally so I'm happy!!!

Christmas fun makes me happy, thanks for sharing your fun with us. The snow is so pretty, I'm jealous! I hope we at least get some flurries sometime this season. Love you all.

What fun! Makes me miss the snow a lot, until I remember chipping the ice from the car...The kids really enjoy keeping up on your family and seeing all of your pictures, we all miss you very much! Enjoy that snow!
