Snow Days

It's super duper snowy these days. We got 10-12 inches last night/early this morning, and it's still going. We're supposed to get a few snow showers on Saturday, and another 3-5 inches on Sunday. Glad the big one already came through, bc my family is driving up from Oklahoma this weekend. Roads are supposed to be fine by the time they arrive on Sunday! Let's hope so! We've been keeping busy as usual. On Saturday Steve took Ava to Tumble Buddies, and Ava loved it. It was her second time to go to gymnastics, and she's a pro at the pike and the straddle. :) After lunch there was sledding, building a snowman, and making snow angels. It was a real heavy, wet snow. Perfect for play. That evening Ava and I went to watch The Nutcracker. She's been watching a recording of it over the past week or so, and she was excited to go watch "real ballerinas" on a real stage. We had a fun mommy-daughter date night. Ava did a great job sitting through the performance. She was proud of the fact that she could sit in her own big seat, but ended up sitting on my lap most of the time for a better view. I could tell she was impressed by the whole experience--she was very attentive and would occasionally turn her face up to look at me and whisper, "I like you, mommy." cute. Steve took our picture before we left the house.
