Snow, Snow, and More Snow

Just when we thought spring was around the corner with a "warm" (30 degrees) weekend, it snowed again!
We took Tommy on two wagon rides this weekend and he loved looking around at all of the trees and people walking their dogs.
We celebrated Tet with some other families and their Vietnamese children two weeks ago. Tommy's friends Nicholas and Andrew were there. Tommy did not like the dragon dance performance - it was loud and he was scared, maybe next year he'll like it??






Asleep in the highchair - I think this was a no-nap or very short nap day and he fell asleep eating.....note the State Farm bib, courtesy of Uncle Mark - Tommy loves the bib because of the bear

Ah, more snow!

I just love the hat!

Tommy is very interested in shoes - his and ours. Here he was trying on Mommy's UGGs

Sharing a cupcake wiht Daddy at the Tet party - authentic Vietnamese cupcakes. Ha!

Tommy with his buddy Nicholas - you can't tell in this picture but they look a lot alike.

Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

Happy New Year! Today is Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. We will celebrate with other families and their Vietnamese children next weekend in Chicago. Today Tommy and I shared a book, "Ten Mice for Tet," with his play class and they all loved the colorful pictures. We also gave out candy wrapped in red foil - not quite the same as giving gifts in red envelopes, but close.
We've been covered in snow for the past week. Last Friday was a snow day for all of us and Tommy loved it! He walked from our house to the neighbor's house after Doug plowed the driveway and sidewalk - he was in heaven.
Stay warm!

Tommy and Doug outside in the snow - not sure why he insists on wearing those red gloves??

Walking down the freshly plowed sidewalk

Tommy loved walking around outside - and did pretty well even without boots.

Watching Doug outside and laughing

he really wasn't upside down, it's just the picture......
