The Holidays Continue (Part 2)

What a miraculous day we've had here! Banner slept in just a tad (the past couple days he's woken up around 6:30am, so 7:00 was good this morning!). He was in a great mood all day. We spent some time at home relaxing and listening to and watching the rain fall most of the day. Around Banner's nap time, the rain turned into sleet and quickly hushed as it fell on our skylights as it turned to a blizzardy snow! It was magical! Sam and I loved the quiet to ourselves, and then we eagerly awaited Banner's nap to end so we could introduce him to the beautiful white snow that surrounded the house and continued to fall from the sky. It was so much fun watching him see it, touch it, explore it, feel it on his face. After only 5-10 minutes in it, it was time to get dressed for a night at Zaide's house. There, we played in the snow for a few more minutes, opened gifts, ate dinner, and played with cousins, aunts, and uncles. Banner's night ended with a fun green-colored bubble bath (literally, we blew bubbles).

Here's a peek into our day:
