****Fun in the Sun****


Yesterday little miss Ella and I played outside in the snow together for the first time. WHAT A BLAST!!! Ella looked so cute all bundled up in her snow gear. Like a little purple and pink marshmallow. I'll have to post some pictures of it later. Anywho, the snow was so deep and Ella's little legs had a little bit of a hard time trying to trudge through it so every once in a while I'd hear her little voice call out, "Trip in snow, trip in snow" so I'd turn around to find that she had indeed fallen over and usually was lying on her belly with snow up to her chin and a huge smile beeming on her face.
We've got a huge tree out in the front yard that we really enjoyed playing in. On the side facing the house there was an opening so you could walk under it, but then all around it the branches were heavy with snow so they bowed down and touched the ground making for a great little "fort" to play in. I lifted Ella up and set her on one of the lower branches, she liked it so she gave me some kisses and huge smiles.
I started a snowman, but I wasn't exactly wearing the "appropriate" kind of gloves to pack snow, so I had to stop short. As of right night we just have a ball of snow hanging out in the yard, but the rest is yet to come.
Ella and I will definitely be spending more time outside together. It was so much fun being out there and running around with her, chasing one another, falling over in the snow and just being silly. Once we got back inside it was nice too. We both got something warm to drink, watched a little Nemo and then took a nap. So refreshing! Being outside was the little something that she and I both needed to brighten our day, I highly recommend that you get yourself out there for a little bit just to enjoy the sun and fresh air.
