Big Snow Day 2009

The past few years the snow has been mild to us in PA.  There have only been a few snows with only a couple of inches here and there.  There hasn't been one of those big snows.  You know, the kind that keeps everyone home bound for a weekend, lol.  This past weekend, Dylan got to experience his first really big snow.  He loves the snow even more this year.  Earlier this month, he enjoyed the few inches that we got & was very sad to see it go.  I woke up on Saturday morning at 7 a.m. to Dylan standing in our bedroom, looking out our windows & excitedly chattering about all the snow.  He was excited to say the least.  He wanted to suit up & go out and play in it by 7:15 a.m.  We did go out and play but a little later in the day after Mom had a chance to wake up with some coffee.

I'm not sure who enjoyed

the big snow storm more...

Dylan or Daddy.

We borrowed a sled from our neighbor & Dylan got to go sledding.  He went down the hill with me a couple times first before trying it on his own.  He was having a blast & giggling the whole time.  Dylan jumped on & rode the sled with Daddy too.  I managed to grab a few cute pictures & even some videos (I will try to put on this post asap).

All three of us had a blast playing in the snow on Sunday.  We all even worked on a little snow fort together.

All of us enjoyed our snow days, even if they were on the weekend, lol.  We got somewhere between 12 - 15 inches, or at least that's what I'm guessing.  Dylan has plenty of snow to play in for a couple of days.  I hear that it's even calling for more snow on Christmas!

First Snow of '09

The first snowflakes of '09 started falling Saturday morning.  Dylan was quite excited.  Especially when we bundled up & went outside to play!

Daddy was teaching Dylan how to make snowballs.  Of course, that was his favorite part about the snow...snowballs!

Dylan & Daddy playing outside in what little snow that was left on the ground on Sunday.  Take a real good look at this picture....  can you spot any differences in Jeff & Dylan other than size, lol?  Seriously, the arms & all, exactly the same, LOL.

Dylan & Daddy built this snowman on Saturday while I was making us dinner.  At one point, Dylan came running back in the house & was so excited he could barely find the words he wanted to say.  Eventually he told me that he needed a nose for his snowman & I sent him back outside with a carrot, haha.  I had to get a picture of Dylan's first snowman the next day before he melted, lol.

Visit with Grandma & Pappy Faith

First of all, Blake adopted a new dog.  I think he might be the cutest dog that I have ever seen.  He is a Rotty & German Shepard mix.  He is not just adorable but he is super sweet too!  Now Jeff is going to have to listen to me talk about how much I want a dog for a couple of weeks or so, lol.  I can't help it...look how cute he is!

It was the 1st day of hunting season yesterday in PA. Almost everyone at the Faith house was either home or in the mountains hunting.  Pappy Faith, Uncle Dust & Aunt Blake came around lunch time so Dylan got to see & play with them too.

Pappy Faith had to replace some batteries in real old trucks, which probably belonged to Uncle Cam. Dylan, of course, had to help.  He helped himself to a screwdriver or two and "fixed the trucks."

Grandma & Pa Pa Gray's House

I think he was watching the bikes.

Thanksgiving '09

Uncle Cam & Dylan passed out after eating on Thanksgiving Day.

This year, Jeff & I, fail at taking pictures.  But out of the very few we took...there was this adorable picture.  Every holiday is a busy one for us.  We often travel to several houses in one day and attempt to stuff ourselves with food.  This year, we celebrated one Thanksgiving a few days early at Great-Grandma & Grandpa Guyer's house.  Then on Thanksgiving Day, we went to Great-Grandma & Grandpa Sheets' house & Grandma & Grandpa Gray's house.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I can't believe we are already in the month of December!!!
