It's begining to look a lot like Christmas in Minnesota! :)
This past weekend, we enjoyed our first snowfall of the season. Saturday morning, we woke to snow-capped trees and a beautiful blanket of white covering the ground. It was positively breathtaking!
The last time we seen snow, Khloe was still waiting for us in China. I remember dreaming of the day she would be here to play in the yard and build her first snowman. My dream has finally come true!! :) Saturday marked exactly 6mos to the day, since we met Khloe face-to-face at NewDay for the first time. SIX MONTHS already!! Oh, how time flies!
What joy to have our daughter home with us, enjoying so many firsts together. She did experience snow in China while at NewDay; we even have photos of her from earlier this year playing with the other children out in the snow. But to have her home with us now ...absolutely PRICELESS!
Khloe kept asking me, "Mommy! ...what's this?" while pointing down at her boot prints behind her. She was taking it all in again, and was so intrigued by her footprints in the snow.
I enjoyed our time alone, playing, exploring and giggling.
Isn't she lovely!?! :) ...I'm pretty much a huge fan!!
My little 'eskimo' all bundled up!
It's hard to believe we were enjoying sweatshirt-weather at the park just a few days earlier!! Just one week ago, it was nearly 70 degrees outside. Only in Minnesota, as they say! ;)
Even Rascal got in on the fun!
The snow was nice and wet, so we decided to make a snowman! Khloe got the hang of it pretty quickly. Have I mentioned how smart she is?! ;)
She was pretty proud of the snowballs we created, and got excited as I stacked them together! Of course, she wanted to help every step of the way.
Giving Mr.Snowman some love!!
~ OOXX!!! ~
Striking a 'pose' with Mama! :)
My beautiful, silly girls!
Brrrrrrrr! ...COLD HANDS!!

Tanya, how can such a sweet picture of Khloe kissing a snowman brings tears to my eyes. That was so beautiful, her loving her snowman. Beautiful pictures and thanks for sharing her first snow with us.

So beautiful!!! I love seeing Khloe do all the "home" things with her family. This legacy of snowy Minnesota winters that you are giving her is precious! :)
What a fun day! Such great photos, and I wish that some snow would come to DC!
I love the photo of the snowman kiss... truly precious!
So cute! I remember playing with her in the snow in China. It was 65 degrees here in NY on Saturday, crazy that you had snow! We did get some snow the week before though. Love the new pictures!
How beautiful. Love all these photos. We are still in shorts,t-shirts, and sandals in Hong Kong. So I cannot even imagine!
LOVE the snow--and the kisses to the snowman, so cute! I remember those snowy days last year when she was so much further away. How cool that it's 6 months to the day. You are such a great momma to make such a stellar snowman too. It's just perfect looking!
There's nothing quite as magical as watching your child experience something for the first time!
Beautiful pictures!
You guys have snow? Already? It was 70 here on Saturday...
Loved the pictures of precious Khloe experiencing the snow with you and her family! So, so sweet!
So good to see how big she is getting. Think of you often and smile when I do. She certainly is beautiful and lovely. Hoping your Holidays coming up will be blessed. Thank God she is home now!!
Big hugs!!
Looks like sooooooooooo much fun. And I can see why you're a big fan mommy, who wouldn't with that special girl. She is such a precious darling, and happy happy happy! Lovely!

Oh goodness am I ever loving the looks of that weather!!!!! SNOW in November wow!!! Looks like so much fun Tanya! Isn't it just the most blessed time raising a little one again? Bryan and I just look at eachother every day and say Thank you God for not letting us miss out on this! We are having the time of our lives! I can't believe how much Khloe has grown in 6 months. God is so good! Hugs, Mary
What a great day and an awesome snowman Ms. Khloe!!!!!!! I'm so glad she enjoyed it!
I remember the pictures from last winter (this year) of Khloe playing at New Day ;) So different having that sweet thing home! And can I say you are not just partial in thinking Khloe is adorable - cause she sure is - look at those big brown eyes!?!?! Perfect!
Great photos, Tanya. Khloe looks adorable and oh so settled with you. Glad you're all enjoying the snow. I LOVE this time of year =)
She is the cutest lil snow bunny all bundled up!!!
