A Jolly Happy Soul

There's been a lot of singing of "Frosty the Snowman" in our house this year. I don't think I'd ever realized just how many verses there are - but at one year old Chloe can sing them all by herself. THAT'S how obsessed she is.

Daddy took her out in the middle of snowstorm so she could finally get her magical snowman. Daddies are the best!

Preparing to place the "jishan's" (magician's) hat on "Fwosty's" head.

I think we have the only snowman who FACES our house instead of away from it....and who has a celery nose.

I stayed nice and warm inside and took terrible photos from the snow-covered front window.

A winter walk.

So last weekend it was a balmy 35 degrees... which means, of course, that the whole town was out and about. We haven't been on a walk outside in months so we decided to pack up Chloe in her wagon and walk to a quaint little downtown area only a few blocks from our house to have lunch.

It was her first real ride in the wagon and she loved every second of it.
To make the trip even more amazing for her, she saw a dog AND she got to keep her cup & straw from the restaurant for the ride home.... note the milk mustache & look of concentration.

She would not let go of that thing for a second... except, of course, to practice putting it in her cup holder and taking it out in between sips.
Even when she got out to walk she wouldn't let go of that thing - except when she decided it was time to run.

What a lovely day!

Snow Day

It recently warmed up a bit and so Chloe had her first day in the snow. She thought it was hilarious. But, of course, she didn't really smile for the camera.
