Snow day

What an exciting day for Ellie! We woke up to a thick blanket of snow and Ellie just couldn't wait to get out in it. She could hardly sit still long enough to eat breakfast -- she kept pointing out the window and screaming "SNOWFLAKES!" With a few minutes to spare before school, I let Ellie check it out...and she loved it until she wiped out, leaving an Ellie-shaped clearing in the slush. She was so pitiful with slush dripping off of her face, but she recovered pretty quickly and even enjoyed watching her teachers having a snowball fight at school.

Daddy came home early when the roads started getting icy and he and Ellie went out for Round 2 in the snow. Here they are preparing for their adventure -- Daddy had big plans to go sledding on the Rubbermaid lid, but they couldn't find enough of a hill. I don't think Ellie cared -- she was in heaven playing with Daddy!
