More Snow!

We got at least 7 inches of snow at our house, and the street was barely visible even after people drove on it all day. Addisyn had a great time rolling around in the snow, eating it, and being pulled on her makeshift sleigh (i.e. a trashcan lid). See pictures below...

On another note, Addisyn began preschool (Mother's Morning Out) last week. It has been very difficult- lots and lots of crying (from the two of us)- I start teaching soon (if the college ever opens back up from all this snow!), so Addisyn will be attending preschool for approx. 4 hours a day Mon-Thurs. The preschool she is attending is VERY nice. The whole school was just remodeled- all new toys and a new playground. They have a music teacher that comes twice a month and a gymnastics instructor that comes twice a month too. There are 8-9 students in her class, but there are 2 teachers, so the student-teacher ratio is very low (which is excellent!). Addisyn told me her teacher gave her a hug :)

A little comparison:

Our house in the summer...

(I think I am ready for some warmer weather- not too warm though! It seems that last year we skipped from winter into the dead of summer without a spring- I would like to see spring this year!)

Yeah, he dug the driveway, but then the car got stuck on the side of the road in front of the house lol...

A White Christmas

We indeed had a white Christmas! Addisyn was fascinated by the snow, the gifts, and the celebration of baby Jesus' birth (Addisyn says, "Baby Jesus is a nice pretty boy.") We got in some nice visits with all of the family, ate til we could not eat another bite, and enjoyed some time off work. Here are some pictures of our eventful holiday...

Did I mention that I like to open gifts early?? Here is Addisyn trying on some of her jewelry and shoes (an early gift from mommy)- Just like Brian opening his new grill and shop vac prior to Christmas (I just get so excited I can't help myself!)...

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!!

We will post again soon!
