Snow Day Fun!

We had a blast these past two days. I took a "mental health day" on Thursday and school was closed on Friday. Travis took vacation for the week. Thursday was such a beautiful day. I don't think I have ever seen it snow all day. This is the most snow I have ever experienced. I am so glad that Lily Grace is having the chance to see and experience snow. She did not want to have anything to do with it on Thursday. I don't think she liked the snow actually falling down on her. She kept saying, "it going to get me." We decided to take her to Peter Piper Pizza. It was great because there was hardly any people there. She liked trying to play the games. She enjoyed playing in the snow on Friday. We build a Minnie Mouse snowman. She had a blast! I just love when we are able to spend time together as a family.

Lily Grace said her swing set was dirty because of all the snow on it. She still wanted to play on it.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Check out our Minnie Mouse snowman!

Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow!!

Lily Grace enjoyed playing air hockey with her daddy! (She had a little help from mommy.)

Pop! goes the weasle!

Ski Ball with daddy

This is about as close to the snow that Lily Grace would get on Thursday!

White Christmas

Lily Grace enjoyed her first white Christmas.

"Look mommy! Snow!"
.Lily Grace wasn't afraid to lay in the snow!

Lily Grace even had a little taste!

This is how you make a snowman! First, make a ball.

Second, make sure you pack it down good .

Last, you have a snowman!

Christmas 2009

Santa came! Lily Grace was a very good girl this year!

Lily Grace liked her kitchen, food, baby and high chair.

Lily Grace got a stocking full of Mickey toys. She even got Minnie perfume and chap stick. She is such a girly girl!

We had lunch at our house with the McDaniel family. Lily Grace got a wagon from Grandma. She loves her wagon. She puts all her treasures in it and loves to sit in. She even ate her lunch in her wagon yesterday!

Baking Cookies

Lily Grace and I baked Christmas cookies today. It was a lot of work with my little helper in the kitchen. We destroyed my kitchen. I think I may have a future baker in the making! Lily Grace had a great time helping me today! I love that she is getting older so that we can do more mother daughter activities together!

Gingerbread House

Lily Grace and I built and decorated a gingerbread house yesterday. Lily grace had a blast! She didn't want to stop! I thought that I would put the icing on while she added the candy. WRONG! Of course she wanted to put the icing on. The fine motor skills of a 2 year old don't really allow for this. I tried to help. Lets just say that our house may not be beautiful, but we sure did have lots of fun!

How Many People Does it Take to Build a Swing Set?

It was a family effort. My mom and dad bought Lily Grace a swing set for Christmas. It took two days and 5 people to build the swing set! It was worth it to see the smile on Her face. she loves her swing set! I know she will have many years of fun!
