The Beauty of Winter

I just finished reading through some email for the past couple of days. I was pleasantly surprise to find out that my Christmas Traditions layout won last month's challenge at Blush-n-Dusty. I really do appreciate the people who took the time to vote for my page. There are some very talented ladies in that group and it means a lot to me.
I love this picture of Ayden, so I decided to do a page with it. I actually took it with my cell phone one day, just before I took her to playschool.
She looked very adorable in her fuzzy pink coat, that she loves to wear. It was snowing quite heavily that day and she was very happy about it. Ayden was sticking out her tongue and tasting the flakes, it was so cute. I think sometimes as we grow older we forget to enjoy the beauty of winter and this is a good reminder for me of how beautiful and fun it can be.

We've had some unseasonably warm weather
the past couple of weeks. Most of the snow in the picture has now melted, although I'm certain we will get some more soon. It was rather nice to have such mild weather in the middle of winter. Everyone at our house has been settling back into their normal routines, now that the holiday season is over. We've had couple busy weeks with several dentist appointments. As well, Raquel has been taking swimming lessons again and was thrilled when she passed into the next level a few days ago. And Ayden is looking forward to heading back to playschool tomorrow, so she can see her friends again. I hope your week is going well, thanks for dropping by my blog.
