Last year we thought we got a lot of snow, but this year we have gotten even more! It hasn't stopped snowing since yesterday morning at 7:30a.m., and we are well past 24 inches of snow. Here's a look at our winter wonderland!
When Blythe turned two she received her first game from her Grandpa Tracy, Aunt Brook, and Cousin Sala. Each duck rotates around the pond and has a particular symbol and color. The object of the game is to pick out the ducks that match your symbol, and the first one to collect all three wins. Blythe is just now old enough to get the concept of the game, and her colors and shapes. So, for the first time we installed the batteries in the duck game, and it was a huge hit from the start. She loves the game, and likes the sound of the duck quacking even more!
Last weekend Matt declared he had a surprise for his girls, and we could not have been more excited! The day started off with breakfast at one of our favorite little bakeries, Madeleine's, and it was GOOD! Blythe had an cranberry-orange scone (mom and dad helped too!).
After breakfast we headed "up north" so Blythe could pick out her own ornament. This is a tradition my parents started when I was a young girl, and every year the three girls would get to pick out their own ornament with the idea being that when we eventually had our own tree we would have 10+ ornaments to decorate the tree with. It was so much fun, Matt and I have continued the tradition between the two of us, and now the three of us. It was a great day!
Sunday, he had yet another surprise in store for us with a Gingerbread Iron Man competition between local businesses at our gorgeous Davenport Hotel. We even got to decorate our own gingerbread house. It was a super fun weekend!
