Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!!

We're having a fun time up at my parents house with all of my family! Eli was great for the car ride up here and slept most of the way, which was a nice break for us. Yesterday, it was wonderful having Thanksgiving with all of my relatives and Eli did really well, considering we were there for over six hours. It was cute to see him and his cousin Jadyn explore together. Jadyn kept trying to give Eli kisses and Eli didn't like it very much. Everyone got a big kick out of Eli walking around with his short little legs and we all laughed at how he closes his eyes if he thinks he's going to fall. Today, we went to Salina so all six of us "kids" could go to a movie while my parents walked Eli around the mall. There definitely was a lot to look at, since the mall was packed. Eli liked watching the giant fish aquarium and playing in the spongy kids area. I laughed my head off at the movie "Four Christmas" and enjoyed the break from the little wild man. This morning, much to our surprise, it started snowing and didn't stop for a few hours! We took Eli outside to experience his first snow and he definitely was checking it out carefully and looking around. He also experienced his first kitten. He kind of laughed at it, reached for it one time and was off to something new. Believe it or not Eli has actually slept better here than he has in months at our house. Maybe because it is so quiet compared to the city and there is no dog barking next door. Although it could be because he's just extremely tired at the end of the day from all the stimulation. He sure loves all the family! Many cute pictures to come!
