There's no business like snow business!

We had gotten a couple snows already this year. After yesterday's, we thought it was worth bundling Elena up to go out and play in it. Adding the 17th and final item!
Be afraid be very afraid.
This outfit worked for a few minutes until she fell over and I took too long picking her up and she starteed crying. Perhaps partly because when she moved her head the adult spidey mask stayed in the same place... We went inside and played with the snow stuck to her boots. After a little time with the snow inside, we decided to go back outside and try it again with a little different set up.
Elena was much happier. Dishtowels can make great scarves without adding bulk.
Look at what a great job she did shoveling the sidewalk!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We finally got to put up our Christmas decorations which have been on hiatus the last 3 Christmasses! (Okay. How do you make Christmas plural?)
Elena 1st helped us check the bulbs for the outside lights.
Then we had to put the lights and beads on the Christmas tree.
She helped us put all the ornaments in their place.
Then just before bedtime she got to watch the train with Daddy.
