Just like her mom:)

In a previous post, I mentioned how Alina likes to scoot around on her bottom and carry her Disney princess purse. Well, she also likes to carry around a bucket with shapes that she has on her shoulder. The other day I was in the kitchen and looked up to see Alina trying to scoot down the hall with both of them. However, as soon as she got one on a shoulder, something would happen to the other and so on. She was so cute trying so hard to get them on her shoulder with everything in them and scoot down the hall! I called my mom to tell her about it and she said that I used to be just like that, which made me smile. Its so cute to see how in some ways she's just like me, but then other times, she's just like her daddy, especially with those big blue eyes!

Finally...the snow!

Finally, after promising it twice, we got snow and finally I'm getting around to posting about it:) I really didn't think we'd get snow after the two let downs earlier this year, but I was pleased to see that we got more than 8 inches. That is a ton for South Carolina! Unfortunately, Justin and I were both a little sick and Alina thought it was kind of cold, so we didn't really get to play in the snow. But it was beautiful to look at. We took Alina out for a little bit, but then we decided it was warmer inside, besides she had already had her first snow on Christmas in Texas! Here some pictures of our neighborhood. The snow pretty much melted the next day, but there are still little stacks of snow where snowmen used to be.

Using her spoon

Alina is getting really good at using her spoon, especially if its something that doesn't just run off. Some of her favorites are cream of wheat, mashed potatoes and using a fork to stab fruits and veggies!
