Blizzland; Blizzard + Cleveland. Look for it in the 2015 Websters dictionary and remember that I totally created that word.
Much like the rest of Northern America, we've had a LOT of snow. Everyday we wake up to a blanket of snow that hasn't stopped for more than an hour over the past 3 days and needs constantly shoveled. Personally, I don't mind Cleveland's snow as it's beautiful, soft and really doesn't get too icy. In fact, we were just named one of the world's top ten most beautiful snowy cities!
To ring in the new year and fill up our tummies before we hit the snow, I made pancakes with a lame attempt to make them pinterest-worthy.
Then we watched a bit of the parade while digesting and waiting for the temps to raise just a bit.
Does anyone think there is anything cuter than a toddler in some long johns and a compression shirt? Look at that belly!
We already had about 6-7 inches on the ground (look how far my boots go down!), a perfect amount for snow angels!
Drew has always loved shoveling and couldn't WAIT to get out there with dad. I barely got his gloves on before he ran out to get his shovel. And yes, we have a snowblower, it's just that sometimes shoveling is
Then it was time for some delicious hot chocolate to warm our tummies before a nice, long nap.
Hope you're staying warm wherever you are!
Taylor has been helping Andy with all our snow too!! There is something just too sweet about a toddler in snow gear!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!!! We're in the unlucky portion of the country that has NOT had any snow (for three years), so I can barely even imagine what your life is like right now...but it is certainly picturesque!!! And he is ADORABLE in that little compression shirt!! Eeeeekkkk!!! (When it snows here, kids & adults alike are WOEFULLY unprepared, wardrobe-wise. We don't own any remotely appropriate snow gear, so it's pretty comical to see what we roll out with. And then we're all soaking wet and miserable within 2 minutes.)
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gahhhh! His belly. Those long johns. I die!!!! Stay warm and cozy!!!
ReplyDeleteSnow is so much fun! Looks like you guys got quite a bit :) Glad you guys have so much fun out in it! Longjohns are the best, and his belly is too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! i LOVE snow during christmas/new years!!! I now live in the west coast so I don't get those 'winter' days anymore. Your son is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMan, I am a pansy about taking Davis outside anytime it's below 50 degrees outside... this post makes me think I need to lower my temperature threshold :)
ReplyDeleteLove that belly! And those pancakes are definitely pinterest worthy - I can't believe the syrup didn't run! Ok, I'm off to the work kitchen to get some hot chocolate after seeing that yummy picture of yours! We surprisingly haven't had much snow in KC just yet, and I'm ok with that. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's cuter, the compression shirt or that adorable red winter coat. He's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLOVE toddler tummies!
ReplyDeleteAww, how fun!! Drew is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteLeland desperately wants to play outside (and use his new shovel), but it's too cold here! Tired of the negative temps. :(
ReplyDeleteDrew is adorable in his long johns.
Toddler tummy!! So dang cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year =) Man that snow is beautiful. How fun to have a built in energy drainer like snow shoveling all handy like outside! Baby tummies are just oh so cute, love it!
ReplyDeleteam I nuts that I'm missing the snow as I look out at the sun and warm CO weather?! Love him helping shovel! so precious!
ReplyDeleteYikes! That's a lot of snow!
ReplyDeleteI love the snow just about as much as Drew I think! Are you ready for this huge storm to hit?
ReplyDeleteDrew in his long johns...cutest thing ever! Send some snow my way please!
ReplyDeleteAw, look at that little tummy. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun!! As a kid who had NO SNOW growing up, I long for fun memories such as these. :)
