Snow Day!

It started snowing on Christmas night. Quite an event here in Raleigh! So we woke up this morning to more than 6 inches of snow! Ellie was beside herself. I told her to look outside after she woke up and she exclaimed "SNOW Mama!!!"


We eventually got ourselves motivated to get in our snow gear and had a great time. Ellie is loving having her Aunt Carissa here "she says "Car-Suh!" We pulled her around in the sled until we could take no more. She is always up for more! She enjoyed running in the snow and watching it crunch under her feet. Eventually we made a snowman. I must say my skills are not well practiced, despite my Iowa roots. Carissa on the other hand had it down. We made a pretty nice looking snowman and Ellie was very excited about the carrot nose, eyes and the buttons of course!

My parents managed to get out of town by mid-afternoon. They are headed down to the Champs Bowl to see NC State play and watch Zoe twirl. If you remember....this is the same situation that happened two years ago when Ellie was born! We'll see if this baby decides to come while they are gone as well. We have the car uncovered in case we need to leave and I told Jason we'd call an ambulance if I go into labor and we are worried about driving. I think I'll be fine though! I'm pretty excited that Jason, Ellie and I have had these past few days together as our last times as a "family of three" It will be great to have a new little one but this has been a really special time for the three of us to share. Ellie has loved having all the attention and we have loved playing with her.
