Snow Day

We have had quite a winter around here this winter.  It's pretty cool.  Elaina has loved the snow days and no school.  This happened the week before last (just before Valentines Day) but I am just now getting a chance to blog about it.

We have had 2 pretty substantial snows.  The other "snow day/days off" were a fluke and I can't believe school was called off, but that is beside the point.  The first snow day back in January, I was down with a bad stomach bug (you don't want to hear about that) so didn't get a chance to play in the snow with Elaina - plus it was frigid so she didn't stay out much.  The second day, documented below, I was in Denver for a work trip so I missed it too. : (

But, thankfully, I have a super awesome neighbor (who happens to be my cousin) who sent me some sweet pictures while I was in Denver of Elaina playing with her cousin/friend in the snow...I love getting pics of my kiddo while I am away.  Thankful for technology.

I hate I missed it but love that Elaina got to play in what I hear was a great snow for playing in and building stuff....

such as this (Erik sent me this pic via phone):

Donned with ND gloves and a hat - nice work Erik and Elaina


Look at all that snow!!!  So pretty.
Pics from my cousin of my sweet girl :)  So, I love how Picasa does this affect thing on my pictures sometimes.  I don't know how but it just does it and I like it :)  With my Christmas tree it was sparkling lights...this one is snowfall.
