Winter Wonderland

There is no denying winter has arrived in Michigan. Yesterday morning we woke up to a dusting of snow. This morning we woke up to 10-12 inches with more still falling!

Of course Addie is loving this weather. Yesterday morning she could not wait to play outside in the little bit of snow we had. Once she got outside she decided she wanted to ride her bike. She had a lot of fun making tracks in all sorts of swiggly patterns. Then she found a stick and started writing in the snow on the driveway.


In the afternoon Michael and Addie started in on Christmas cookies. They were able to finish baking a double batch of sugar cookies. Their plan is to finish the rest of the cookies today. After dinner last night we went to the local ice staking ring. This was the first time Addie and Michael had ever been ice skating. I, obviously, just watched them skate. At first Addie was moving her feet as fast as she could but was just staying in one place. It was so cute! Then she started to slowly shuffle forward. The first time around the ring it took over 10 minutes. By the end of the evening they were both doing a lot better and it was not taking them near as long. Addie still was falling a lot but it was mainly from her getting distracted and not paying attention to what she was doing. She was okay with leaving but wants to go back again today. I have a feeling that we will be going back again soon.
