Snow + Snow Angels = Lots of Fun!

On Sunday, we all went outside for round two of fun in the snow. While Daddy finished digging out Mommy and Daddy's cars, Mommy and I made snow angels. Daddy later joined us for snowball fights and most importantly, eating snow! I know what you are thinking... don't worry, we didn't eat any of the yellow stuff :-).

Tomorrow, I'm hoping I'll get to play outside some more. The Federal government and the schools are closed so it's an official SNOW DAY! Hooray!

Love,
Emerson


"Daddy is so cool, here we are eating snow together"

"No Daddy, that bite is all yours"

"My first snow angel... I'm sure I'll get more practice tomorrow"

"Help, I've falling and I can't get up"

"I'm king of the hill"

A TREACHEROUS Weekend!

A blizzard-like storm hit the Washington, D.C. area shutting down all stores, public facilities and leaving some folks without power. As of 8 pm tonight, Daddy measured 22 1/2 inches of snow and counting! We had plans to go to D.C.'s Zoo Lights but given the circumstances, that obviously did not happen. However, today has been a great day. Mommy bought me a new snow suit (thank you Daddy for having the fore thought to suggest she get one) for playing in the snow. At first, I did not like the snow but I soon realized that it would prove to be lots of fun. Mommy also made a Ham, homemade toffee and we hung out in our basement by the fire for the rest of the day. All in all, it was a very good day. Check out some snap shots below along with the a couple of videos of our adventures today.

Wherever you are tonight, stay warm!

Love,
Emerson



"Bob's favorite part of winter is our basement fire place"

"SNOW FIGHT!"

"Really Mom, you think now is a good idea for a snap shot?"


"Make it stop!"

"And Dad wants to know if we're getting mail today?" " He's new!"


"Check me out in my new snow bib." "Grandma Linda and PaPaw, recognize those boots :-)"


"Who needs a snow plow when Dad does a great job!"




Christmas Tree Day 2009

"Hey Dad, need any help?"

"Let me at em!"
"Uncle James looks lost"

Now, check out the video to see how a little guy, like myself, could end up with hives! Yes, apparently eating snow (along with pine needles and most likely tree sap) off Christmas trees caused a severe case of hives. My parents have to be new.... otherwise, what's their excuse for letting me eat pine needles? I still love them anyway :-).
