Snow Days

We had snow!  Not nearly the blizzard that was predicted but we did have snow!  Lil G loves to play in the snow, so he and daddy built a "snowman".  This involved hauling buckets of snow, so they could construct their friend, whom Lil G named "Bryan".

This past weekend, we ventured to visit family in Nauvoo.  They had a lot more snow there!  Enough that the kids both got to go sledding for the first time!  Lil G had a blast.  Smunchie tolerated it but did not enjoy the snow nearly as much.

 Sled ride together....

 Followed by a wipe-out!

 Post wipe-out, Smunchie is still A-ok.

Flowers

 On Thursday, Lil G spent the day with his Opa and Gogie again, while mama recuperated from her illness.  When he came home, he brought a beautiful bouquet of "flowers", made out of paper, buttons and straws.  He was so very proud and he made his mama smile :-)

Apparently, Lil G thinks that you pose with things in front of your face.  A lot.
