First snow of the year!

On Sunday we had the first snow of the year! Gabriella's been waiting for this with her snow boots, pants, hat and mittens, etc. When we woke her up we let her look out the window. It took a minute for her to realize what it was (lazybum wakes up slowly) but then she was SO excited. She did think it was Christmas (that took some explaining) but was just as happy to go out and play. We had plans for Gabriella to go to a friends house so Ricky and I could do some Christmas shopping. That meant the outside play had to be fast so we could all get dressed. We decided wearing jammies with her boots and coat were warm enough.


Later in the day we decided to make our Rice Krispy house. We found it at a craft store last week and it seemed right up our alley. We try gingerbread houses every year and they don't work so well (or Gabriella starts eating everything right away). We had fun and we each were able to make a house.


One last picture for this morning. Gabriella LOVES houses decorated for Christmas and here's ours. We just added the snowman pathmarkers last night (sorry it's blurry, I was cold and shook the camera).
