SNOW!!!!! (Caution....long!)

While Benjamin was napping today, Dave and I went through the last couple of boxes we have and I came across the cats leashes that we used to use in our first apartment to take them outside with. When Benjamin woke up he immediately found them as he loves leashes and he was very tickled to learn they were the kitties and not Zoe's. Because I'm a sweet momma (and Milo's been driving me crazy lately with peeing on the carpet!), I put on the leash and collar and let Benjamin play with it. He was so tickled and was surprisingly good with Milo. Milo wasn't very exciting and mostly just laid on the ground.


You can see on his face how delighted he was at having one of his kitties on a leash! The pink leash is Pepper's and he held it the hold time and told me about a million times that it was Pepper's! I wouldn't put it on her though, because she's so timid with Benjamin.


The exciting part of our day was that we got our first major snow. It snowed all morning and afternoon and was really sticking. It rained though and we lost some of it. But after it stopped we took Benjamin out to play in his first snow! We were in Charleston last winter, so he never got to play in it. Here he is all bundled up and ready to go out to the snow! You can see his new snow shoes in this picture. They are some serious boots and it was so funny because he had quite a bit of trouble walking in them at first! But he eventually got the hang of it!


Dave putting his gloves on. He did so well keeping his coat, hat, and gloves on. Usually he hates the gloves and hat and won't wear them! Yea Benjamin! The wind blew right when I took this picture, so that's why he's making that funny face. It wasn't too windy or cold since we were all bundled up. So it was a nice day for some snow fun!

Dave starting to make a snow man..........

and Benjamin trying to do the same!!!!!!

Working together as a team! Benjamin would yell "push!" as they pushed the snow balls around the yard, making them bigger!

Benjamin smiling away at the snowman he and Dave made while Dave was inside getting the stuff to decorate the snowman!

Benjamin brought the carrot to the snowman and gave him a nose!

My two boys with their first snowman. Good job guys! We had so much fun playing in the snow with Benjamin for the first time! He loved it!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!
