Lunchtime Surprise

The other day we went out to lunch
Holly has been really good at that lately
We went to a little crepe place
and outside a band was playing Christmas Music
Holly danced and listened and had fun
Then on our way home we had a great surprise
SNOW!
Interestingly enough we went last year as a planned activity
It was way colder then, I remember freezing... But
I also remember the snow being all melted and mostly slush
Yet this year although we arrived as they were packing up for the day
The snow was still firm and packed. Perfect for Snowballs
It was great we had her rain boots in the car, they were wonderful foot protection
and other then her hands freezing it wasn't cold enough for the rest of her to mind
I had on flip flops with no socks, so Daddy had snow duty
Holly got him several times.
I also had a little cup in the car she used for digging which helped her fingers a little bit
This year its hard to feel like Christmas because it is so not cold yet
There isn't even snow in Tahoe or Reno yet.
So this was a super treat
After the Surprise so we headed out to find a Christmas Tree
That was fun, trying to wander through the rows of trees while Holly was running ahead
Looking for the perfect one. We found it and headed home to decorate
