Blizzard FUN!

We got our first blizzard over the weekend...well actually the blizzard was pretty much our first snow of the season!  We saw 15 inches!!!!  It was the most beautiful snow though and being it's Christmas time, I am AOK with having it to top off all the deocrations and lights :)

I headed to Target to get Kenna the Cinderella snow boots she wanted (nothing like waiting til the last minute, I know) and came back home to get her all bundled up after nap to go play and roll around in the snow!

At first, she was not too thrilled with her get-up, as you can see!  This child would prefer to NEVER wear a coat - and getting her snow pants on?!?!  Well that was just a fight!  EEK!  But we did it and made our way outside!

At first glance, it was kinda cute, she just kinda stood there, taking it all :)

When she realized she could walk and play in it, it was time to do some serious playing!!!  (Yes, she still has her Rudolph nose on - DUH!)

Daddy was like a little kid and was running and sliding - Kenna thought it was pretty funny...so did Wrigley apparently!

Fun photo op!

Then it was time to build our 1st family snowman - Daddy did most of the hard work with rolling each ball, but Kenna helped pack it in place :)

And here is the finished product..I'd like you all to meet none other than, SNOWMAN!  Yup, that's what Mackenna named him :)



She was so proud of her new friend - but I think her favorite part of the afternoon was all the snow she ate!!!


We did some sledding on the hill up by the field and exhausted ourselves for the couple hours that we were out there, but it was an awesome way to spend quality time with each other.  When we finally decided to go in, we had some hot chocolate and watched some Christmas classics on TV!  I love this time of year...
