Ryder’s First BIG Snow!

We got hit hard with snow this weekend, ending up with about a foot and a half!  My favorite thing about big snowfalls like this is being snowed in…but…if you remember THIS post, you’ll realize that we have absolutely no  excuse to be snowed in anymore :( 

Alan drove to MD and picked up Nick & Lindsay (since they were snowed in) so that they could come over.Ryder 128

They brought Ryder his very first Christmas present!  It couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, look how adorable he is all bundled up in his new winter bear suit!

Ryder only got to experience the snow in his car seat, and Daddy let him have a taste of it.

Then we brought him over to Yaya’s to be snowed in with her :)  He stayed the night there, and we all headed over to Poppy & Nana’s for the Christmas Party!  When everyone you know has a 4-Wheel drive truck, I guess there’s no point in cancelling events because of snow!
