Snow Day

We got abound two or three inches of snow in Columbus over Friday night so Saturday was a fresh winter wonderland.  Eliana put on her new snow pants for the first time and we ventured out.  Last spring I bought a sled at a very good price, so this was our first chance to try it out.  Eliana was NOT a fan.  She actually didn't really like the snow or sledding.  When snow got on her or on the sled, she would cry for me to wipe it off.  She did, however, like to pull her little bath squirt toys around in the sled.  As long as she didn't have to be in the sled, it wasn't so bad.  Of course, snow could not touch them either.  So we just took a little trip around the block pulling the sled full of animals behind her.  We had one little mishap with the neighbor's dog trying to run off with a rubber ducky, but other than that it was a good trip outside.

Oh, that's better

It was a very determined little march around the block.

The best we can do for a family picture.  Oh well.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving, or at least Eliana and I did.  David is on night shift right now, so he had to work Wednesday and Thursday night, thus putting a damper on any holiday celebrations.  While he was sleeping the day away, Eliana and I went over to our friends the Bennett's house.  Morgan and Anthony are such generous hosts, and their son Sam is just a few weeks younger than Eliana.  The two of them had a blast together!  After our dinner with them, we did stop by the hospital and drop off a Thanksgiving plate for David. 
Friday and Saturday we went to Indianapolis to spend with our families.  David was pretty tired on Friday since he worked all night Thursday but we made the best of things spending time at my grandmother's house with my family.  On Saturday we went to David's parents' house to spend time with his family.  Eliana, Gloria (Grandmama), and I went to the Indianapolis zoo for a little bit.  We had a great time!  The weather was really nice, sunny and not too cold.  The zoo was not crowded so it was the perfect time to go.  Eliana really liked the elephants and the monkeys.  The best part was when the monkeys were grooming each other, Eliana said, "ooo hair nice!"
