Santa & Snow

We had our first dusting of snow this past week, and man the kids were excited. Emory ran out of the house ready to play in it, only to realize just how little we had and how nearly impossible it was to play in.
We also put up all of the Christmas decorations, so now we are all just ready for Santa and snow. As Emory gets older, she is more and more opinionated about everything, and decorating the house was no exception. She had to personally place every single ornament on our tree. Her reasoning was pretty cute too. Simon's little dachshund ornament had to be low so that he could see it too. After a very involved conversatoin about how Santa would get into our new house, we finally came to an understanding about the Magic of Santa. She was just so worried since we didn't have a chimney.
Here is a picture of last winter that is absolutely one of my favorites! Someday, Owen will be mad that I put Em's hat on him, but it was so cold. Still cute though.
