Winter is coming

We had our first snow this week and it was awesome. Olivia and I walked John half way to school and it was so much fun. Olivia loved it and was just so excited.
When we got back j we played in it some more and Olivia learned the hard way why it's important to wear gloves. Snow balls and bare hands don't go well together. So now she loves them! Which is great because she would never leave gloved on before and I would always worry about her tiny little hands getting cold.
This first snow has me excited for two things, Christmas and living in Utah for the foreseeable future.
Christmas this year is going to be different. For several reasons we have decided not to go to California and just have Christmas with out little family and while I'm sad we won't see our family and friends and get to escape the freezing cold I'm so excited to start some family traditions and to do Christmas morning just us and Olivia. Also I have started listening to Christmas music and decorating. (don't judge me)
