Week of Christmas

We have had a fun week getting ready for Christmas this weekend! It all started with a HUGE snow storm Monday & Tuesday which left Steve stranded here at the house with us (not that we minded). He woke up and got in his car at normal time- 5:30, and found he couldn't get out of the driveway. Even with the generous help of two neighbors who were also up at that crazy hours he couldn't get out... his car just sits too low and can get past much snow. So he came in and said he would wait a little while to see if it got better. Well, it didn't! Steve went out and shoveled frm 6:15 to 8 to finally get the drive way and our entrance to the street clear. Ended up his work just told him to stay home and come in the next day!
He went out and played a little by himself so Hadley could watch and she thought it was so funny! After it finally stopped snowing around 4 on Tuesday we measure our backyard which was untouched and we had 21 inches!!

This little girl just stood and watched for about 40 minutes!


This week (to my dismay) Hadley also mastered the art of opening all cupboards and pulling everything out the them :)


Last night after walking around the neighborhood delivering gifts we wanted to make smores. Well, we had no form of fire so we went a little ghetto and just used the stove.


Hadley LOVED the smores...



... and eating the marshmallows plain even better!


It was a fun week to stay inside and keep cozy most of the time :)

I really miss those days of being stuck at home where you get to just enjoy being together! How crazy that you had 21" of snow. And don't you love when they discover all the cupboards?! I remember when Landon started doing that, too funny. Hadley is growing up so fast, she looks like a good blend of you and your hubby!

That was the best snow ever! I had so much fun building a snowman and a fort. Nothing like snow to remind you what it's like to be a kid again. :)
