First Sledding Trip and Some Elmo

We woke up this morning to quite the little snow storm. The flakes were so fluffy and big, so we decided to go for a little sledding trip after church (I know, maybe not the most Sabbath worthy activity, but at least we were together as a family). We were supposed to go sledding yesterday with our ward, but only three other people showed up, all of which were young men. I didn't think it would be as much fun with just Eli and me and no other kids (Brandon was at work).

Today was perfect for sledding. Eli looked so cute in his little snowpants! I loved it! He wasn't all that sure what to think of the whole ordeal (probably not in small part due to postponing naptime). He wanted to be carried the whole time. He did enjoy going down a little hill in the sled and gave a couple of appreciative "wheee-s." He was more interested in the dogs that were running around. We were only out for about a half an hour, but it was fun nonetheless. His mittens kept coming off because his coat was too puffy to Velcro them up all the way. He kept saying "snow, mittens, UP!" So he was carted around like royalty. Oh, to have his life!

There is also a video of Eli dancing to his Tickle Me Elmo that Grandma and Grandpa gave him for Christmas. He really just wants to pack Elmo around and give him hugs, but his second favorite thing is to dance with Elmo. It was pretty cute.

Yesterday, since all the snow was melted and it was warm (and NOT windy like it was the day before) we went to the park after Eli's nap. He had fun on the slide and pushing his stroller around. Man, this kid LOVES wheels! It is so funny!

One more day until we find out what #2 is!!! It seems like he/she is also excited for our appointment tomorrow-there have been an awful lot of wiggles and rolls going on in there!!

Daddy is all bundled up!

Havin' fun cruising around on his trike. He loves to wear Daddy's hat!

Love and hugs for the smelly dog. She is such a tolerant dog and really puts up with a lot of rough lovins' from this kid.
