Snow, for real!

It has been a long while since we saw any of the white stuff on our lawn, but we woke up this week to an unexpected light dusting of snow. It wasn't enough to cancel school, but it was enough to delay it for two hours and let us have a little fun. 

Plus Dad found enough snow in the back to build a massive snowman. For perspective, Pop is six feet tall. It's amazine how much all that accumulates when you start rolling a snowball!

Spreading Christmas cheer all over the walls

December means lights inside and outside the house, and since Dad gave us access to the ladder again this year, we had a wonderful awful idea...

Luckily the inside decorations are a little easier. Aunt Olga's Christmas village is always the centerpiece in the living room. 

And you gotta have a great tree if you want Santa to come visit. 

Thanks to some help from Dad, Santa will be able to see the house from way up in the sky. Now comes the worst part -- the waiting for Christmas!

Christmas party #1

Our holiday schedule got a little mixed up this year because of the way weekends fell, so Christmas started right after Thanksgiving this year. Aunt Jeanne's annual party was a blast, and we even got all the kids to smile for a family picture. Well, most of the kids at least...

Holiday hunger

All this talk of holiday treats is making me so hungry I could ... well, he's mostly full of grain and plants, so he's probably healthy.
