More snow!

Well, it snowed all day again today which made for some pretty pictures! It would have been prettier if I hadn't had to be at school all day, but oh well! Eric and I went out with the dog tonight to get some pictures of all the snow!

The park by our house.




Some random house that looked cool! :)


I love the snow on the trees! So pretty!


Our street



The pretty candy cane lights we have up! I love the glow in the snow! (And I even rhyme!)
Huck REALLY likes the snow! He just goes crazy and runs and jumps around! It's pretty cute! :)

Beautiful and Bitterly cold snow!

We had a nice, snowy storm yesterday, which left us with some beautiful views and balmy temperatures of around 8 degrees! (Though with the wind, I hear it's more like -3).









Ahhh, the warm house feels nice though! We spent most of the day inside with some friends making cookies and watching christmas movies! Fun times!







Since it was too yucky outside there wasn't much to do except bake! So here are some more cookies we made! Yummy!

We did go outside and sled for a little while, but it got too windy so we had to come back in before our noses froze off! Overall, it was a fun day with friends in our warm house! Now I just have to get ready for the last week of school before break! Woohoo!

Oh Christmas Tree, oh christmas tree!


There is nothing better than the wonderful smell of a freshly cut fir tree at Christmas! This past weekend we went to Eric's family's house for thanksgiving and were able to get a christmas tree for $5! It doesn't get better than that!


We had to wrap it for the long drive home.


I decided to try something new this year and I put ribbon on the tree instead of garland. I think it turned out pretty well overall!



So festive and happy!






While we were home, we also went to the zoo lights with my sister Jodi and her family. Here are a few of the pictures that turned out well!





This was my favorite part. They had a whole area set up like a jungle with a stream and hippos, crocodiles and other fun animals!

This was just a section FULL of lights!
It was a fun trip home!!
