Christmastime + Winter Storm

What a pleasant weekend! We didn't get to go to the American Girl store in Novi today (after much deliberation) because of the snow, but we packed in movie nights--The Santa Clause and Christmas on Sesame Street, decorating the tree, finally working on finishing the renovated rooms, my work Christmas party, church, making cookies, and lots of playing in the snow. Playing in the snow BY THEMSELVES. Which is amazing because playing in the snow is just about my least favorite thing. I would rather take the kids swimming in the early morning hours at the lake, any day.

There were lots of little moments, too, like "happy Eddie" staying up late jumping into the bean bag chairs and Mary Cate being three months old and cooing merrily all day long. Anyway, it was all pretty idyllic, and with a snow day tomorrow we have a bonus weekend day. I'll take it!
This kind of looks posed for a photo shoot, but it was unstaged, promise. You can tell because no one is hamming.


Eddie wanted to go outside in the worst way, but wasn't wearing any pants. We were trying to catch snowflakes but it was snowing so hard it was like getting water splashed in your face and he couldn't stop laughing.
