The snow finally showed up. David woke up at 4:15am because he was hearing pops. When he looked out the snow was falling. He even woke me up to show me the snow. We both thought about waking Ellie up to see the snow and then decided she would see plenty of snow while in Sweden. Lucky for her it was still falling steadily when she awoke. We hadn’t told her about the possibility of snow since she was so disappointed on Thursday. I told her to go look out the window for a surprise. She ran to the window and squealed. I wish I had a camera ready to catch her expression. She was mesmerized by how the snow was falling and where it was sticking. After breakfast, we put on her snowsuit on over her pj’s and went out to play. She loved making snow balls (they looked more like snow pancakes) and then throwing them. After about a ½ hour, she was too cold to keep playing.
We spent the rest of the morning playing board games, doing puzzles and watching the snow begin to melt. After naps (for both of us) Daddy brought home pizza for dinner. We have found a pizza place a block away that we all really like. It is so cool to be able to walk a block and pick up dinner. After dinner we had our first movie night ever, watching Madeline. Ellie enjoyed being about to curl up on the couch with us and show us her favorite movie. All the snow was gone by bedtime.
