Our quiet weekend - thanks to the snow

This is the first weekend in a long time that at the end of it Ava was not switching houses. I sincerely enjoyed not caring how hard it was snowing outside today - other than having to clear the driveway so I could get out on Monday. She didn't wake up until 7:30 and then hung around in my bed until 8:30 - usually we are down stairs eating by 7. We stayed in pj's until we went outside at noon and then changed back into them when we came in. We both took a nap in the recliner after all the cocoa, sledding, and snow blowing. We had oatmeal, made pizza, had hot chocolate (twice), we even made cookies - this is the kind of day I had always dreamed of having with my daughter. Topi even participated in the tickle attacks, ball tosses, and "you can't catch me" runs around the house. Her language is amazing we are actually having little conversations (debates), after the hot chocolate she said "this is delicious", a grammy B phrase. She had a full conversation with my mom about her new hair cut and what was happening in the book she had in her lap - I am in awe.

So - here are pictures of our day in the snow and our new house.

our fire hydrant - I was more worried about getting that uncovered today... then getting out my driveway.
Enjoying hot chocolate in my PJ's with mommy. A perfect day in Mommy's book.
