Snow Day in Tennessee

Just a couple of pictures to share of Max's first official snow day of winter. (It took long enough to snow, I mean, gosh.) He saw some snow last winter when we were up in the mountains for Christmas, but he was just 6 months old. So this time he actually got to play in it. The first picture is before we hit the slopes. (Hah, yeah.) Don't you love his hat? I actually got him to wear it the whole time. (I think it's because I had a hat on not unlike this one, chin flaps and everything. Okay, I'm kidding, it was actually just a baseball cap, but if I had one that matched, I would have totally sported it.) He had no idea why I was putting several shirts on him, though, and kept squirming to get away. When we finally did make it outside, I mostly had the video camera running, so I didn't take any more pictures. I wish I would have thought of it, but between playing cameramom and chasing after the little snow devil...yeah.

The second picture he has a snowball in his hand. I gave him one to throw at me, but he just held it in his hand until it melted. After that, his hand started turning a bright red color from holding it, so I decided it was time to go back inside for awhile. He was extremely angry with me, but a cup of hot chocolate solidified our friendship again.

I love my little Arctic explorer. North Pole, here we come!
