The Veldmans: Oh the weather outside is frightful

It snowed and snowed and snowed. The snow began falling Friday night and didn't stop for about 24 hours. It started to come down while we were on our way home from a "game night" with some friends that Nate went to high school with. Ava stayed home with our babysitter Spencer while Nate and I got away for a while. It was great to see friends and hang out for a few hours. Thank you Brian for hosting, we had a great time!

Nate unfortunately had to work on Saturday morning. I am so grateful that I had this weekend off. The hospital did call to see if I wanted to still pick up Saturday evening. I informed them that I was unable to get out of my driveway, but thanks for the offer. :) Nate luckily made it home safely and wen spent the afternoon/evening inside watching the snow fall and blow around. We decorated the Christmas tree and just hung out.

By Sunday morning the roads were pretty clear so off to church we went. We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's after church and helped decorate their tree and had lunch. Nate took a vacation day today since we were supposed to be up at the cabin (where the windchill was -30 this morning) until today. Instead we bundled up and went to the gym to take Ava swimming. Unfortunately when we got to the gym Nate realized that he forgot his swim trunks. So he worked out while Ava and I played in the pool. After nap time we all headed out into the arctic air for Ava to check out the new snowfall. We were only out there for maybe 10 minutes because of the cold. She wasn't super impressed with the snow, but didn't hate it. She did, however, hate the fact that her hands had to be covered with mittens.

No big plans for the rest of the week. We're just looking forward to a warm up by the end of the week. Hope you're all staying warm!
