Birthday Snow

We woke up Sunday morning to this:

Some might say say it was such a nice birthday gift or that it ruined my birthday or whatever. I don't love the snow if I have to go anywhere...but since it was Sunday and we didn't have any plans then it was beautiful. It was really wet and heavy snow and we have some downed tree limbs to deal with but no damage at our home which is a blessing.

Four years ago for my birthday Oliver bought me a gorgeous bracelet. Well, it got lost somewhere during our move from our townhouse to our current house. I have really missed it and so I was really excited that he replaced my lost mountain bracelet for my special day.

Aunt Missy bought Addison this snow suit while I was pregnant. She got it on a great sale and I have been waiting for a reason for Addison to wear it. After admiring the snow we decided to get to work shovelling so that we could get out of driveway and get to church.

It's the only thing that Addison can stand up in - it is so comfy and cushioney it doesn't allow her to fall over :)

She sat outside in a camp chair to supervise the shovelling. She also doesn't normally sit up by herself so this is a very specially powered snowsuit :)

I had a great birthday. My only request was to stay home all day - it is so nice to spend time at home sometimes. Addison slept in until 7:30 and then other than church - I got my wish. I made my own dinner and dessert but I didn't mind because I didn't have to go anywhere or do anything! I was in bed by 8:30 and it was wonderful!
