Let it Snow!!


We finally got our first big snow yesterday. Schools and offices were closed early in the morning in anticipation of the storm. The snow didn't actually start until about 11:45 a.m., but once it did, it didn't stop. It snowed and snowed and snowed!

Last night was Stephanie's annual daycare Christmas party, so we ventured out in the evening to have dinner there. If we lived more than a mile away, we probably wouldn't have. It was a small group, just us and Leo and his dad, but Millie had a great time. She and Leo got free range through the house and took full advantage. Millie continues to show her love for Leo -- just yesterday she started saying his name "e-0." She walked around ALL night saying "e-o"!

We decided to wait until today to take Millie out in the snow. So after lunch we got everyone bundled up in their snow gear and headed out. Millie was very good about getting everything on, though once it was on she was ready to get outside -- no waiting around in all that stuff! We plopped her down right in the middle of the front yard and that's pretty much where she stayed... I'm not sure she could move the snow was so deep! In general, she wasn't too sure what to do once she was out there. She watched the neighbors across the street shoveling and gave them a wave "hi."

And then, she took a face-plant... that she did not like.


After that, she stuck pretty close to me and frequently said "nooooo." It was a good first venture out though and she did a great job keeping everything on and seemed to stay pretty warm :).





Looks like we're going to have a "white Christmas"!
