Sesame Street, Snow and Other Random Pics

Since our last blog, Molly has celebrated her 2nd birthday, we saw Sesame Street Live, we've gotten our first significant snowfall and have tried to keep ourselves busy inside.

Molly's favorite part of the cake was the Elmo and beach ball.

She carried them around for about 2 weeks after her party.

Aunt Lynn and Pap Pap got us Sesame Street Live tickets for Christmas. We were so close to the stage, Molly got hugs from Elmo, Telly Monster and a 'High 5' from Cookie Monster.

With all the new toys from Christmas and Molly's Birthday,

Molly and Daddy have been keeping busy!

A couple of weeks ago, we got our first big snowfall. Daddy took Molly sled riding and Molly's friend Amy joined them.
