walking in a winter wonderland

while we were in NW Indiana for the holiday vacation, Ava and I had some time to play in the snow. we weren't really prepared; i don't have gloves, snow pants, or even that great of a snow jacket for her- but we had a great time and she absolutely loved it.



luckily, my nephews had some mittens we could borrow!



it was a beautiful day; not a cloud in the sky!





we even made a mini snowman.



i have really started to embrace the time that i can spend one-on-one with Ava. they are so few and far between, that i just really savor the moments.
