Christmas Snow!

While we were in Virginia visiting family, there was an awesome storm that dumped almost 15 inches of snow beginning Christmas night. This was the first significant snowfall we'd experienced since Eli's 1st time last January at 4-months-old. (Yes, that was the snow that he absolutely hated, as seen in the video I posted last year.) Now that he was a little older, Eli seemed to like snow a little more. We didn't have any boots for him, so plastic baggies wrapped around his shoes with rubber bands were the next best thing.

At first, Eli was really curious about the white stuff on the ground. Mark put him down but the snow was so deep that he couldn't really move. That ended Eli's desire to walk in the snow!




It was also really cold, windy, and still snowing when we took him out, so Eli's desire to be outside didn't last very long. We attempted to "sled" along the streets but poor Eli's pants kept hiking up and snow got into every piece of his clothing. Ultimately, he ended up being most happy sitting on Daddy's shoulders, safe from the cold and wet snow. Go figure! Nevertheless, memories were made and we had fun in Eli's first Christmas snow!
