Winter Wonderland

Winter is officially here! Katie's first snow turned out to be one of the largest storms Richmond has seen in the month of December. I don't know what the "official" totals were, but we had about a foot at our house. Here are some pictures of the weekend.

Katie and I didn't venture outside on Saturday although Matt did. Instead, she and I stayed and played indoors. Couldn't resist posting this one....she looked so sweet holding her rattle and looking up at me with with those baby blues.

Me and Katie in front of the house. Her poor little nose is so red here....she went inside immediately after this one was taken!
Popa and Uncle Jake came over to help us build a snowman. Since I was about 12 the last time I built one, I was quite out of practice. It took us about an hour to build the body...then I realized we didn't have all the items to complete Frosty's face and arms. We improvised and used lids from a Coke Zero bottle for eyes, a pine cone for a nose, a lid to an ice cream container for the mouth, and some twigs from our trees as arms....haha!!! Frosty is wearing a UVA Dr. Seuss hat and orange scarf for these WAHOO men...and 1/2 Wahoo girl.
Family photo with Frosty! :-)
Katie in her snowsuit in the snow. Matt kept saying "she looks like a tic about to pop!" HAHA!

The one negative to the snow storm is that this weekend was supposed to be our annual Southard Family Christmas gathering at Caitlin and Jeremy's new home. Unfortunately, we had to postpone due to the storm. We are really looking to seeing everyone at a later date! Merry Christmas and love to everyone!!!
