Snow & Tree

We got a dusting of snow the first week in December and then got our first snowstorm (the biggest one in the past two years) on December 9. We got over a foot of snow. We bundled Oliver up in his snowsuit and took him out while we shoveled. He was a little uncertain at first but eventually seemed to really enjoy it. One of these days we're going to get a sled for Oli. I never went sledding as a kid (not enough snow where we lived in Oregon), but Chris tells me it's fun.

We had been going back and forth about getting a tree this year since we are leaving town shortly after Christmas, but finally decided we wanted one. Last Thursday, December 13, we went and picked out a small balsam. It's a cutie and smells delicious. I love it!
