A White Christmas in Alabama

This is what we woke up to on Chistmas morning. They expected a dusting to an inch, but by late morning, we had around 3 inches.

After opening presents, we played outside in the snow.

Then we took a snowy drive over the mountain to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Santa's Village

The reindeer were the big hit. She also really liked the icicle maze and the fake snow.

Ella's 2 year stats

Height: 35"
Weight: 27 lbs
Clothing size: 2T

Likes: Going to the playground, coloring and doing art projects, reading, going to school. She still loves shoes. Everytime we go to a store with shoes, she wants to try some on.
Dislikes: Brushing her teeth
Favorite food: Pizza
Favorite books: Her big sister book and any of the Dr. Seuss books
Favorite show: Probably Dora, but she also likes Jack's Big Music Show and Olivia, both of which I prefer to Dora.
Favorite toys: Her monkey that she calls "Ah-ah" and her babydoll that she named Mimi, her lacing beads and other similar toys, and her train set. Some of this may change in a few weeks when she gets more toys for Christmas, although I'm sure Ah-ah and Mimi will stay her favorites.
