A Christmas carol from Delaney

This is Delaney helping me sing Deck the Halls. Merry Christmas!

Fun in the snow...take 2.

Well, this time we made sure Delaney was well rested and we tried the snow again. This time was much more of a success. Thursday we went out and pretty much just sat in it. All was fun until she did a face plant in the snow. We were done after that. It was starting to snow really hard then anyways, so it was a good time to go in. Friday we were able to spend a little more time out there and went for a little walk in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, Dan didn't get to participate in any of this. He left for work at 3 am on Thursday and had a route in Bellevue. They didn't get there until 2 pm. 405 was a standstill and for anyone who watched the news, that was the road they were telling people to stay off of. He wound up having to spend the night in a hotel up there and finished the route today. He finally got home around 6 pm tonight. We are glad he is home safe and sound. Since there is no chance of the snow going away anytime soon, at least he will be able to play outside tomorrow with us. Delaney's snowsuit is coming in handy sooner than we even expected. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Bell!

And this was what it looked like about 5 minutes after we came in the house. Brrrrrr!

And even more snow to play in on Friday!

Trying to slide down our little tiny hill in front.

Houston, we have a tooth!

Yes, Delaney's first tooth has FINALLY popped through. It has not been easy process and has caused some restless nights and unfinished meals lately, but it is finally poking through. You can barely see it and it is surrounded by incredibly red and swollen gums, but it has finally made its appearance! Only 4 days before she turns 10 months old. Hopefully, she will have a bit of an easier time with the next few. Now only a mouthful more to go!

Delaney's first snow

So, Delaney got to experience her first snow today. We had our first snow of the season. She really didn't seem to enjoy it too much (which you can see from the pictures). Granted, we had already been to the mall this afternoon and it was just before naptime, so I don't think she was in the mood. But, it was still worth documenting, so here it is.

Remember in the movie "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie's younger brother can't get up in his snow suit??
