snow and ice

Addison was so excited about our TN trip this year. She couldn't stop talking about her cousins and she wanted to see snow. The first one was easy. They love her and can't wait to spend time with her. The snow wasn't happening while we were there, but we like to make dreams come true. We took a ride up to the ski resort in Gatlinburg so Addison could see snow. She didn't get to make a snow angel, but Michael did help her make a snowball.

We (meaning me) decided to take Addison ice skating. I'm no pro at ice skating so I was really nervous about skating and holding her up, but to our surprise she did really well. The whole time we were out there she kept saying, "whoa, whoa, whhhheeee". My body ached the next day, but it was worth it. She loved it!

They also had a carousel. This may be their new favorite thing to do.

I love seeing the smiles on their faces. We really had such a good time that day.

*I'm not sure what's up with all of Addison's cheesy smiles, but I'll take it. Cheesy smile is better than no smile. Trust me. There are more to come.
