The Windows have arrived!!

So Tuesday morning a Pella truck pulled up and dropped off our windows, including a 400 pound window/door combination that is in the kitchen (backside). They guys feverishly worked to get the North side windows in.....then it snowed more today.

Randoms

Here is LUCY.......freshly groomed, lookin' pretty!!

It's Sean and Megan on the couch at my moms.....see Sean, you are on the Blog!!

A Little Craftiness

I purchased an elf apron (child's size) from Kmart and embroidered the kids names on them....so cute. Oddly enough, the apron looks easy enough to make, but I will take a shortcut wherever I can.
This is a "reverse" applique of a hand turkey. It is actually the kids hand....turned out waay cute (hard to tell in photos) and both kids wore them on Thanksgiving. I am working on a similar one for Finley for her "3rd" birthday.

The First Snow

Sunday we woke to snow.....at 8:00......we ALL were outside in full on snow gear by 8:30. It was the perfect packing snow, however there were only like 2 inches. We did it all....snowball fight, snowman, snowball maker thing, sledding, shoveling......

Waiting patiently at the FRONT of the car for Daddy.....

He is sooooo sneaky, he came out BEHIND the car!!!!

Starting of the Snowman.....

Our Angel making an Angel

So my attempt at a "self portrait" of the 4 of us and the snowman didn't work...however it is the only picture of the snowman I have....

The Coziness of Christmas

So one of the best things about the Holiday Season is the coziness that consumes the house. There is such a homey feeling of the glow of the Christmas tree lights....both Sean and I love to turn everyother light off except for the Christmas decorations that light up. However, it does take longer to get to bed at night, wandering around turning EVERYTHING off.

I have to give props to Sean....it was his idea to attach the "believe" sign to the wreath instead of hanging it elsewhere....

the new tree....teee heee heee....it has 1500 lights on it....

Here are a few of our "Marshmallow"

I can't wait for the "teen" years.....

So our youngest, Finley, will be 3 in January. She is a through and through stubborn stinker, sneaky cat, miss priss....but is the best squeeeeezzzzeee hugger in the world. For all her antics, I wouldn't trade her for ANYTHING!!

Here are some randoms of her and her antics.....

Eating the candy BEFORE we could get it on the house.....and she is STILL sneaking candy off the houses....I should take an after picture. She snagged all the "spree" candies that were lining the roof.....
This is her....."hee hee, im doing something im not supposed to be doing" face. She is getting into her aunts beads......

Now when we ask her to smile it is this goofy crooked smile and her eyes dart in the opposite direction....

Or yells.....

And when she is mad or sad she pouts....usually on the bottom step. Can you find her in the picture.

Today in the car she asked for something.....

I say "Just a minute Dear"

she replies "Im not a Deer, Momma, Im a GIRRRRRRL"

GOTTA LOVE HER!!!!!

Want to hear a great Christmas song.....take Canon in D (common in weddings, including mine) and add beautiful children's voices....
