Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

We woke up to a winter wonderland this fine morning!!!! About 3" of snow and it was still coming down. By the time it was all done we had at least 4". It really feels even more like Christmas with all the snow on the ground. We were visited by our resident quail family dancing along the snow. We just love our little quail family. All the birds seemed to be out enjoying the snow this morning. We were all a bit surprised to seem them out perched on the snow covered tree branches. Keller's new truck looked like it had received a flat top over night. :D

Christmas Tree Decorating

Decorating this year yet again was a blessing. Gracie and Ashten are enjoying all the Holiday fun. We put up our tree on December 1st. A little later than normal but that is a okay. It was enjoyable to pull out all our favorite ornaments from years past and also a few new ones we have picked up on our travels. We have a little tradition that Keller and I started on our honeymoon to get an ornament every where we travel. Gracie loves the bulbs that have sparkling glitter on them. Ashten's favorite is a little chipmunk elf that is working on a "bobot" or Robot. They come out each morning and show me all the ornaments.

We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas celebrating the Joy of the birth of our LORD and Savior. And a Happy New Year full of blessing!!!!!!

Hippo Stuffing

Gracie's favorite Hippo "Mary Christmas" affectionately named last Christmas. :D Was getting really really skinny and holes started popping up on her tummy and shoulders. So we decided it was time to do a little surgery. We opened her up and stuffed her and she is looking pretty good. Although our little miss Gracie is missing her skinny hippo. Her hippo was picked out by Keller and I for her when I was about 5 months pregnant and she just became attached to it as a baby. It made it that much sweeter to us that she picked hippo as her favorite toy. So here are a few shots of the surgery. HAHAHAHAHA LOL
