Sledding and fun in the snow...
This is Day 2 of the winter weather we got this weekend - we finally ventured out in the snow today wondering how bad the roads were; they were actually pretty good for the most part, we were able to get around without too many problems. The school system is closed tomorrow because a lot of the back roads are still very icy and have not been plowed. We ran a few errands in town this morning and then when we got back home we got Emma in her winter gear and took her sledding in the back yard - we have a decent slope behind the house, which made for good sledding today. I also included some pictures of the property.
Tractor Time!
When we were home for Emma's birthday, Grandpa took Emma out on the Kubota Tractor for the first time. She loved it! I think she was so mesmerized by the color and size of it - we were able to capture some sweet moments with both her and Grandpa that day!
Emma's 1st Birthday - Round I
We can't believe that Emma is a year old! It went by fast, but at the same time I think we both look back and are amazed that we made it through the first year...I have to admit it was tough, but also amazing at the same time!
We went home to see both families for her birthday - we figured it was the easiest thing to do and we wanted to all be together for the occasion. We stayed with my parents over the weekend, but Sherry was gracious enough to host the party at her house. I wanted it to just be family so it was both sets of grandparents and then Dan, Kim, Ethan and Cady came over to celebrate with us. I think Emma had a great time - you could almost tell that she knew she was the center of attention that day. She did well eating her first piece of birthday cake, chocolate of course! She also received some nice gifts. She has changed so much in the last year - she's in 12-18 month clothes, in a forward-facing car seat, walking, babbling and talking more and more and developing such a great personality. We are so blessed and we can't wait to see what this year holds for our family of three!

Emma's 1st Birthday - Round II
It was just the three of us for Emma's official birthday on the 20th, so Allen brought home a cake, balloon and stuffed animal for Emma after work that day for us to celebrate after dinner. Emma loved the cake of course, but we made sure she didn't have too much since she goes to bed soon after the dinner hour. We love you baby girl!
