More Fun in the Snow!

On January 5, with sunny skies and warming temperatures, Emma and I decided to get outside for some more fun in the snow before it's gone. We fixed up the snowman and snow dog, since both of them had lost their faces since we'd last been out. We also did some sledding on our little slope in the front yard. Finally, we went out back and built a snow fort. It started out as a cave, but when we realized we could see daylight through the back, we ended up making it into a tunnel instead!

A New Year's Visit to Grandma and Papa's!

Emma and I welcomed in the new year with a 2-night stay at Mom and Dad's. Emma enjoyed playing with Uncle Jason and Aunt Kristen, and I enjoyed not having to be Emma's sole source of entertainment while Todd's been sick. We all enjoyed hanging out and playing games together, and Jason, Mom, Emma and I went to Malabar Farm State Park for some sledding on a beautiful wintry New Year's Eve.

Shopping Day!

On Saturday Dec. 29th, Emma and I met my friend Beth at Easton in Columbus for a shopping day. All of the Christmas decorations were still up, including a giant tree in the same area where Emma enjoyed playing in the interactive fountain in the summer! Beth treated Emma to a new outfit for her Build-A-Bear (she chose an ice skating outfit, complete with skates), and with a coupon I had she was also able to make a new "bear" (actually a Christmas puppy). By the way...I have no idea why I'm having trouble loading some of these pictures. I've been blogging for years and have never had a problem before!!!
