More and more snow

It didn't stop. Briefly, here, and there, but we got hit again this weekend. Poor James...both his birthday parties were postponed. But we got his cake anyway and invited the neighbors over to help us eat it!

Here is the progression of snow...

Don't ask us if we're enjoying it. We did, for about 15 minutes last Monday. Then they sanded our sledding hill and put and end to that fun. Then the next snow that came was powder, and we couldn't sled on that either. It's too powdery also to make a snowman. It is fun, however, to walk knee deep in the stuff. That's an unusual. And we have to keep clearing a path through the deck, down the stairs, and in the yard for Kelsey to "do her business." I don't think she's pooped since the snow started.

And it's beautiful outside. Everything is peaceful and white. Merry Christmas everyone!

Snow Day!

What was going to be a busy Sunday has turned into a Snow Day. We have provisions and after spending a few minutes outside early in the snowstorm, are now snuggled by the fire enjoying our individual pursuits.

Trimming the tree

Got this business taken care of early - with a December birthday in the family now it tends to sneak up on us rather quickly, so we got out our lights, decorations, and ornaments and put up 'ol Tannenbaum.








I'm not sure what we'll do for a card this year - it's nearly impossible to get all 3 children plus the dog in a photo with everyone looking halfway happy. And don't even get me started on trying to see Santa. Every time we leave the house someone is having an attitude problem or a meltdown or they fall asleep. Bah humbug!
