Snow

For weeks before we got to Utah every time I would mention that we were going to Grandma's house she would ask me if there was going to be snow and if we could build Olaf.  I prayed for snow.  Sunday morning we woke up to snow.  She was so excited.  It was priceless to watch her. Prayer answered.  I was glad we got to experience winter for a little while.    

Family Pictures

We went out to take our family photos for this years Christmas card.  It was kind of a disaster.  I was trying to fit it in before we left to Utah so we tried the only day that Paul was going to be around.  The sun never came out and the lighting was terrible.  Despite the fact that you can't see anyone's eyes I did like a few of the moments we captured.  I can't help but love my little family.  I have the best husband and daughter a girl could ask for. We'll have to try the pictures again.  Hopefully I can get something before it gets too late.  

"Talk for this one Mama"

Audrey loves pretend play right now.  She loves acting out the entire Cinderella story with her Polly pocket princesses. It was fun to build her a house today out of blocks. She often brings me something and says, "Talk for this one Mama".  I don't last very long with my prince impersonations.  There's only so much that the prince can say before he wants to go take a nap.  I do a lot better with Cinderella and Minnie Mouse.  This morning she wanted me to talk for her elephant. She doesn't want her stuffed animals talk with one another she wants me to talk for them so that she can have a conversation with them . 

Sometimes I feel like the invisible Mom who lives through her stuffed animals.  As long as I can be myself sometimes I don't mind.
