SNOW!!

We finally had a decent snow! I measured between 10 and 11 inches in our yard. The best part about the snow is that Tyler has been working from home the past few days and I haven't had to work in the daytime. It has been SO nice to spend some extra time together. We have really needed it.
We took Ellie outside to see the snow. She wasn't too impressed. It was so funny. She could barely move in her snowsuit, so she just sat stiffly in the snow. She did not look very happy. Needless to say, our outing didn't last long. We ended up coming inside, making hot cocoa, and watching Tyler shovel snow from the window. What a nice week it has been.

Baby Love

Until recently, Ellie has shown no interested in her dolls. But in the past few weeks, they are her favorite toys! It is so cute! She carries them around and kisses them. (With a very open mouth and lots of tongue) :-) One day she sat for 15 minutes and washed her baby with a wipe. Today she has been covering her up with a washcloth. It is just so darn cute! I have taken way too much video in the past few days :-) Here are some pictures of my little mommy:

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!
Wow! What a difference a year can make! This time last year Ellie was still in my belly. Now, I have a WALKING baby! That's right, we have turned a corner...Ellie now walks more than she crawls. Where did my baby go?? It is so amazing how fast this year has gone!
We had a great New year's eve. We played games and Ellie got to play in confetti with her cousins. We came home in time to get Ellie to bed and I fell asleep on the couch. Tyler woke me up at 11:58 to watch the ball drop. We said happy new year and were in bed by 12:06. We are such party animals :-)

Here are some pictures from the evening:
