2nd Snow Day

It snowed all day on Thursday and by Friday morning we had 9 inches of snow on our sidewalk! We had to measure for proof!!!
This is our tree in the front yard. It looks so pretty covered in snow.
This is our front porch and sidewalk.
Addison ventured out to our tree. (Notice our snowman in the background? He did not make it through the night).

1st Snow Day 2010

Our first snow day of 2010! After breakfast we went outside and played in the snow. Addison actually wanted to walk in the snow this time. Her first experience with snow was not as adventurous.
I cannot remember when we actually had good enough snow to build a snowman.


I think Addison is still wondering what this stuff called snow really is.

Here is our house.

Happy Birthday Aunt Hattie

Back in November my grandma had a great idea. She knows that I have enjoyed making blankets and she had been thinking of her sister, Hattie and how sweet it would be to make a blanket to give her for her birthday. Since Hattie's birthday is in February, I thought that would be perfect and that would give me plenty of time to make it. Aunt Hattie has always been so sweet to our family and I knew that Aunt Hattie had not been feeling well so I enjoyed picking out some fun, bright colored fabrics for her blanket and began working - mostly when Addison was napping or at night. There were a few times when Addison was able to help me by handing me safety pins and sitting in my lap while at the sewing machine.

I only wish I could be there to see Aunt Hattie's expression when she opens her present from all of us.

Addison carried the blanket to show Grandma first.

Happy Birthday Aunt Hattie!
Love,
Grandma, Aunt Yvonne, Aunt Theresa, Ashley and Addison
