So long November!

Here are some photos I took through the tail-end of the month. We had our first big snow fall. Emma and Isaac warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day. I have to admit, I love pulling out the hot chocolate from the pantry with the arrival of winter.

With it getting dark so early, we find ourselves winding down with a movie. By the end of the day with all three kids, that's a treat. lol

These photos of Willow are about a week old. Thought I would mention that since she already looks bigger and different. lol
This is her first sponge bath, right before her cord came off......

It was chilly, wet, and alarming. 

It's almost as if she was asking, "Did I just come out of the birth canal again?"
Haha :D 

Then there was this sweet moment with Nanna Val  :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

My mom got this idea from somewhere for a veggie platter ~ I just followed directions.
lol
Thank you mom for an excellent meal! We were all as stuffed as a turkey.....

Willow was dressed in authentic moccasins made from an Indian lady from one of the local tribes :)

We are thankful for our many blessings :)

First Snow

We've had a dry run in the weather..... until now! Old Man Winter has made his mark, but usually this first impression doesn't last too long when the sun comes up. You gotta take advantage of opportune moments.

What do you do with a blanket of white that thick? 

Tackle a hill and get a thrill!  Haha!

I think Isaac enjoys sledding this year more than he did last year. Ava just rips down the hill in many fashions; forward, backward, up side down.... lol

They get crazy! I love it!

If kisses were snowflakes,

I would send you a blizzard....
