Snow Day!

Friday morning found Michigan blanketed in snow. For once, the weather forecasters were right, and we were hit with a pretty big storm. I, along with teachers across the state, jumped for joy, since the icy roads meant we got to start our Christmas break a day early. Abbey and I spent the day inside, and Ryan even got to come home a little early. He came home to a great surprise, too, since my dad came over to clear our driveway and sidewalks!

The view out our front door. Brrr!
Abbey is looking outside and mentally chastising me for not buying her snow pants yet.
I think she forgave me!

In general, she has been very good with the Christmas tree, although she finds the needles, no matter how often I try to sweep them up...the perils of a live tree, I guess. I try to distract her with her other toys, but you can see here that she can only be distracted for so long! (Her rattle is sitting next to her.) I made sure to put only non-breakable ornaments on the bottom branches, so that she can't get into too much trouble.
