First Snow of the Year

While we were sleeping last night, we got our first snow of the year. Riley was so excited to look outside the window when she woke up and couldn't wait to get outside and play. Both Riley and Payton stayed home from school yesterday with Grammy because they were sick, but this wasn't stopping her. After breakfast I bundled her up (think Randy from a Christmas Story) and she and Mike headed out. They shoveled the driveway and then had a blast playing and sliding down the hill. They even made a mountain and she stood on top like the Queen. Mike snapped a few pics:) Payton and I stayed inside and she took a little snooze. When Riley came in she was ready for a bath and then asked to take a nap (I know she wasn't feeling well....). After 4 hours I woke her up...wow!


My goal for the day was also to take the Christmas card photos and despite 2 kids who were not feeling well, I was successful. Here are a few and you can see the rest in another post. Mike was at the Bull's game with some friends, so the girls and I relaxed and cuddled.
