Let it snow!

Today went by way too fast.

Snow... glorious snow... didn't really listen to the weather forecast, didn't believe it... because they said last week snow and it never happened, but by god we got the snow today. I'd estimate at least 6 inches. It took us at least an hour to plow out of it. Jessica had a great time. She was jumping in it, making snow angels. It wasn't good packing snow, so we couldn't make a snowman, but we had fun. I was even rolling around there with her... and I've decided I probably should get some snow pants... playing with 3 kids in the snow, I'm sure I'll need it, or I'm going to get a cold and wet butt!!!! After Jon had dinner we bundled him up for a quick picture in it. We brought out his sled, and he wasn't too sure what to make of it. Then Jessica stayed out there to help Daddy shovel whatever little bit came down after we plowed it this morning, and whatever snow drifts occured. Our blow up snow man didn't want to inflate, wonder what's up with that.

My MIL gave Jess a kids train set that she got from a neighbor. We set it up this morning. Jess thought it was pretty cool. Something's wrong with the train, that it won't go by itself, but who cares, she enjoys pushing it around the track, especially up the hill and through the tunnel.

We spent the evening wrapping gifts. I still have to get that digital picture frame filled up with pics, then I can wrap that, and then we just have some gift certificates left to get. Then I am done.

Jessica did her first snoop today. I was switching the clothes around, and she opened up the storage room door and I didn't hear it. When I was leaving the laundry room I saw her, she grabbed the bed and a lamp from the doll house and put it on Jeff's chair to play with. I distracted her, but she never really forgot about what cool thing she saw in the storage room. We forgot to put a sheet over the doll house, I always feared she'd see it, since I know she can open that door. I just thought she would never have the opportunity, but see... you turn your back for a minute and see what happens. Oh well, we went upstairs, and maybe she has it out of her mind. We have since moved the doll house, and now wrapped all the gifts and moved them. So even if we come in the basement, hopefully she won't remember and if she does and opens that door, she won't see anything of interest in there. We'll have to really find good hiding spots when they get older. I didn't think it was too big a deal yet, and it probably isn't. But next year, we'll know better. I think next year, she'll grasp Christmas much better, she's grasping it slightly this year, but still not sure what the stocking are all about, and that Santa is bringing presents under the tree. We are going on Tuesday night to see Santa, hopefully she cooperates, otherwise, just Jon will get a nice picture with Santa. Hopefully it's not too crowded... we are going to go right after dinner. I can't believe we waited this long to go, the days have just been going by way too fast. And I won't attempt it myself with the two of them during the day.
