And it's STILL snowing...

I know; I know. Enough of the snow already.

But how often do we get snow? NEVER!

Our trees look bejeweled (is that a word?), heavy laden with snow...sooooo pretty!

The picture below looks like something from The Cat in the Hat Comes Back..."all that deep, deep, deep snow, all that snow had to go!"





If you can see the seat on the lower right-hand side of the picture above, it's covered in about 6 inches of snow. Wow. I was shivering and walking SUPER slowly across the thick driveway. As is obvious, I'm kinda top heavy. Didn't wanna slip and fall...Eric was away at a meeting, and the girls were asleep. Can you imagine?

Dreaming No Longer...

At somewhere around 6:00 this morning, the sky started doing this...

...and then no more dreaming of a white Christmas!




YUM!















Thank goodness for Daddies who grew up in snowy country,
who know how to make snowmen in seconds flat!

Helping Daddy roll the snow...see, this is how it's done! What a man!

Mom, these gloves are wet, and my hands are really cold!
Actually, what she said was, "Gloves off, Mom. Gloves off!"




Back in gear with dry gloves...at least for a few more minutes.
How unprepared are we for this kinda weather!

Loving the Snowman

The picture above was taken about three hours ago, and it's STILL snowing...even now at 4:08 pm.

Okay, I have to confess I photoshopped the buttons and did some vignetting on this one. :)

An Early Christmas

My brother Nathan and his wife were up last weekend to

celebrate an early Christmas with us.

Hats from Aunt Carol's mom.

Thank you, Uncle Nathan and Aunt Carol for the adorable tea set...

...and for the beautiful dress for Essie Bug!

Another hat from Aunt Carol's mom -- thank you!

And then some more pictures of the cuties thrown in...gratis!

Morning Snuggle Bugs

Here are some morning shots of the girls watching -- what else -- Curious George together on our bed. Makes me want to snuggle up to them. Ahhhh!

Trimming the Tree

These pictures are a couple weeks old, but what can I say? We're a little busy here. :)

Essie's job was the candy canes...nonbreakable! :)

"Should I try eating these things?"

Abby's job was the icicles and some other nonbreakable ornaments.

Needless to say, Mommy did a little rearranging when they went to bed. Cute though, huh?
