fun in the snow

Since being home here in the States, its been cold and very snowy. Ella has had many chances to get out in the snow and enjoy it. While her cousins from Tennessee were here, Grandpa got out the tractor and pulled them around the yard. This was fun for all!




Mamak gave her a very cute little sled that we use to pull her up the hill to see Gma and Gpa, which is lots of fun, too. Thanks, Mamak!

Last week we saw this little visitor walking just outside our window on the perimeter of the lake, a coyote, we are told.

Today was a beautifully sunny day. Ella asked to go out and play. She really loved jumping into the tall snow drifts...

Aaron came out and decided we should all make snow angels. He didn't have on gloves and when he got down into the snow it went down his shirt and pants. As he was making his angel, he said, "Oooo, exposed skin!" and then ran into the house immediately after! Made me laugh so hard I cried!

Then I tried...getting down and up is no easy feat for me these days!

Then it was Ella's turn...
Our snow angel family...
Speaking of me and my belly, here is a shot of me last week at 36 weeks. I have 3 weeks left until the due date. Yes, I am counting the days!

Finally, I will leave you with some really gorgeous pictures Aaron caught one morning last week.
