Snowy Day + Sam

On top of all the ice, we got loads of snow.  We ventured out on Saturday to hit some of the stores to find some outfits for Sam's 3 month pictures.  I came up with the fabulous idea to get some pictures of Sam and the snow.  I mean it just looked so pretty outside and I imagined these amazing pics of the snowy outside and Sam all cute and bundled up.  Plus, Sam had slept 8 hours the night before plus took a long nap in the morning which made for extra sleep for me and J.  I was just feeling kinda out of my element.  :-)

Here were the issues with this. 

1.  It was way windy so the snow blows in your face and you can't keep your eyes open.  My solution to this was to go out to the gazebo in our neighborhood where we could stand out of the snow.

2.  Sam fell asleep in the car.  I was so determined to get the pics that I WOKE SAM UP.  Huge No-No to wake a sleeping baby.  He was very angry.

3.  There was ice under all the snow so the trek to the gazebo was filled with slipping and sliding while holding a screaming baby.

4.  I was forced to be in the pics too and had not taken a shower yet that day nor did I have any make-up on.  I looked like I had just been resurrected from the dead.

5.  Jack had to hold the camera and an umbrella to block the snow from blowing into Sam's eyes.

Here were the results:
