Fun in the.. Snow?

Carrying on with the frozen theme that has been hanging around the blog recently, we have had quite a bit of snow today and theres much more to come overnight apparently. We decided to have a play out in it for a bit and Calleigh had a blast! Hoping to go out somewhere tomorrow and take Calleigh sledding- doing it in the garden was fun but it isn't much of a hill. 

We also took a bit of a walk in Rockwoods yesterday hoping to see some wildlife- we didn't but it was a good walk (even if it was -10). 

The First Snow

So winter has arrived here in Missouri and we had our first snow! It was only one day we had the snow but the cold temperatures lasted a while and since then temperatures have been up and down like crazy- pretty typical for Missouri really from what I hear. 

Of course I had to let Calleigh have a play in the snow, she was excited watching it fall all day and we had a great time building a snowman and having a snowball fight. 

Best thing about having a snowball fight with a toddler- they can't throw haha!

Afterwards I brought her inside and gave her a nice warm chocolate drink (hot chocolate that wasn't hot haha) with cream and sprinkles! 

I'm assuming this will be the first of many snow posts as winter goes on :-) 

Snowed In

What else is there to do on a snowy cold day than have an indoor picnic by the window (so we can watch the snow in the warmth)!

It was perfect until Calleigh started trumping and thinking it was hilarious!

Going back to England: One More Day!

Today is our last day in St Louis before we leave for our trip home over Christmas. I am really excited to be going home and seeing family, It's all I've been thinking about for the last couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone reacts when they see Calleigh again, she is such a big girl now and I think most people will be shocked at how different she is from the little girl that left 9 months ago. 

At the same time though I think I am a little sad to be leaving this beautiful place. The snow has been falling and everything is so magical here at moment. We have really been enjoying playing in the snow as you can see from the last two posts and we had another big snow fall yesterday. 

We will be spending most of today and tomorrow morning double checking suitcases and taking down the decorations (such a sad thing to be doing before Christmas but I can't imagine wanting to do it when we get back). The next time I will be posting is when we are back in England, so be prepared for lots of heart warming reunion pictures! 

Also to come is Calleigh's outfit of the month which I think is so adorable. 

Until then I will leave you with some photo's of yesterdays snow. I'm hoping for a smooth flight with no delays so lets cross our fingers and hope that the snow can hold off for a couple of days whilst we get ourselves back to England. 

See you soon England!! 

Dashing Through the Snow

Yes this is another post about snow but we are just having too much fun in it!! 

We got Calleigh a sled today and just took her up and down the drive, she loved it and was laughing her little head off. Unfortunately when I had a go pulling her I managed to capsize the thing and Calleigh ended up face down in the snow. After that she decided it would be a good idea to throw snow at Daddy, so cute! 

Snow Day

So it snowed last night... Yay! 

We went outside to play in it this morning but it was -6 outside and still snowing a little bit so we didn't play for too long. When we had finished we came in and warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate each. 

Calleigh is wearing her Christmas Pudding hat which Mee-Maw brought us over from Next.. I love it!

Brilliant!
