BeAuTIfuL WinTeR MoRnINg!


Wow! Isn't this a Beautiful Sky? What a great thing to wake up to. We've had alot of snowy days here in Wisconsin and I love it! Snow is something I've always loved as a kid but living in southern Georgia we rarely got any. Every Christmas I'd pray for snow. Finally HE answered my prayers! Even if it's some 30 years later! :o)
We have 2 Christmas Trees this year...and look I have a fireplace burning in the background! Yeah...another dream come true. And there's my cute lil' elf helping her Mom decorate. Don't know whether she helps or hinders...but it sure is cute seeing her enjoying the beauty of Christmas.
This is our other Tree...it's out in the Sun Room. Better photo below...Look at all that lovely snow. I finally learned how to take a photo indoors and capture the scenery outdoors through windows. Trail and error...took tons of photos and capture this.

Look how blue the Sky is! Love Blue Sky against white snow...so crisp and clean looking!

Greg bought the pretty Poinsettia's. Their real and I hope they last a long time! The temp in the sunroom is just right for them to survive.

Tess outside playing in the snow! She's growing up too fast andwith ever pasting year looks more and more like her big sis, Britton . She loves the snow too!

Lily is another story...she really likes the snow but here she doesn't have on her gloves and her hands are freezing.She decided to go out on her own when I was putting away things in the garage. She's staring to cry cause she realizes how cold the white fluffy stuff really is. Beren and Leia sliding down the driveway with Lily girl! Now this is much better and alot funnier! She's properly covered from head to toe. Beren was the sweetest big brother to Lily. He kept grabbing her to sliding down the slope over and over again...he didn't notice how red her little face was. I tried to take her in and he just wanted to keep on playing with her. I couldn't stand seeing her face red like that...just had to take her back inside. She had a ball with them!
While the kids played Greg had to use the snow blower to clear a path so we could back our cars out of the driveway. As he says...if I'm not mowing, I'm blowing! hee hee Summer time the grass needs cutting twice a week and now he's had to blow snow 3 times already and it's not Winter yet! ha ha
Tess on her 9th Birthday...just love this cake! How cute is that...a snowman enjoying the snow too!
Seth right after a much needed haircut. Dad cut it and did a great job! Seth is such a cool guy!

Look who's learning to play the guitar! Little does he know that Dad got him a Guitar Hero game for Christmas and a Classical guitar with DVD lessons. Can't wait to see if he canlearn this way. Shoot I might take up the guitar myself!

Me, Leia and Lily playing around taking photos!

Leia on her 15th Birthday. Leia and I spent the day shopping and when we came home Greg had this very colorful cake ready for her.
*****************************************************
Hope you enjoyed the photos and the happenings of the last 2 months. We had a great Thanksgiving and soon to have an even better Christmas. Have most of my shopping done and the last thing will be grocery shopping. Britton is coming up to visit and plans to cook us a gourmet meal. I can't wait. I've missed her a lot and I can't wait to have someone else do the cooking for a change! Yeah! Hope you all have a Merry Merry Christmas!

Priceless photos Mikki - now I want to go play with my camera. Do you make the Let It Snow cake? Or order it? Sarah's birthday is Wednesday and we're having a family celebration on Saturday and this cake would be perfect. She loves the snow.
