Snow! Snow! Snow!

This is the first time that we have been snow bound with Tate and we enjoyed every minute of it. We were mostly lazy the entire time making good food and watching Elmo but we did get out to enjoy watching Tate play in the snow. Tate didn't know what to think about the white stuff on the ground. He just walked around in it and smiled. Travis tried to sled with him but Tate wasn't too fond of the sled (maybe next year). Tate did not have the proper snow clothes so we did have to go in a warm up a couple times throughout the weekend especially when he found the street drain and all the melted snow. He loved splashing in the puddles. Travis was hard at work most of the time building us a snow family. One big snow a year is great and we had a great time but come on spring and summer!

Christmas 2009

Better late than never! Christmas was a blast this year. Tate was really into opening gifts....more than I thought he would be. Santa met us at the Knoxville Zoo this year. We went with Abbie and Izzie and had a wonderful breakfast with Santa. Neither one of them were too scared of Santa. After we ate breakfast we walked around the zoo. There were some animals that weren't out due to the cold weather but boy were we in for a show from the gorillas. They were extremely active!

Below is our first picture of Tate and Izzie together on Santa's lap. What cute cousins!





We made gingerbread houses this year at moms and we did make a mess. Tate just enjoyed eating all the goodies. You'll notice his mouth is red. We had to give both of them a bath to get the red stain off their bodies.



Santa was good to Tate this year. He must have been good in 2009 (he is always good in my book). He got a basketball goal (this is his second - he grew out of his other one), a radio flyer scooter, Encore Elmo, and many more toys and clothes.



Can't wait to see what next year has in store for the Shulars!
