Winter is here. Holidays are over :(

Daddy went back to work last night for the first time since his ten day break and we missed having him home with us. It seems that with the start of the snow, it closes the door on the Christmas holidays for us this year. But oh, what a holiday it was. We had a great time visiting family and friends from near and far, and enjoyed sharing it all with our little lady. We now have some great memories of the holidays and it seems like the next two and a half months of me being home with our little lady is going to fly by.  Hopefully the weather cooperates so we can enjoy our time and aren't stuck at home until mother nature decides that it's time for spring.

Christmas morning was postcard perfect for our little family of three. Waking up on our own time, and lazily wandering down to open presents at 9:20am, we leisurely took our time, enjoying it all.  Kennedy loved her wrapping paper.  I'd say she loved the gifts too, but it was the wrapping paper and packaging that first caught her attention.  We had to be quick to ensure that the little scraps didn't make it into her mouth.  Grandparents came later in the day and we didn't leave the house once.  Perfection.

It was a green Christmas for us this year.  A great day for anyone who had to travel.  But today, it's official. Winter is here. We hit the road in our stroller today to test out the winter tires (really, no winter tires. Which is surprising considering her daddy probably would rig something up to improve the winter driving conditions of the stroller if he could). The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, the air was crisp, and our cheeks were cool. Kennedy had no idea what to think earlier this morning as she sat at the patio doors, watching the snowflakes fall from the sky.
