I wish that Jenny girl would get something posted on this blog. She's way behind. There's pictures and videos from a Christmas dinner, preschool Christmas program, church angel choir program, opening gifts, playing with gifts, Aunt Kim's visit, playing in the snow,...

 pretty drifts in our front yard last night. In some places, it is so thin, you can see the grass.

In some places it is above your knees.

The snow stopped yesterday evening. Now its just bitterly cold. Should be fun shoveling! and shoveling. and shoveling. and shoveling.

sidewalk shoveled 2 hours ago.

Its a PJs, long johns, hot tea, hot cocoa, beans and cornbread day.

"Gingerbread" house

I finally succumbed to the pressure. The gingerbread houses are everywhere and Laura just wouldn't let up. So we got creative with what we had on hand and had a ton of fun making it. Graham crackers, jelly beans, mini animal crackers, cream cheese, marshmallows, raisins, apricots and birthday cake frosting. Oh, and some leftover candy corn. 

OK, its not Martha Stewart; its more like Jenny and Laura. And we're going to actually eat it tonight for dessert, which I have heard it is not what happens to most gingerbread houses. 

Seasons

I came downstairs after quiet time today and was amazed at Laura's artwork. Not all quiet times are this successful!

Checking in

We're busy and happy!
