More signs of the season...

Sammy was pretty proud of this igloo he and Joelie made. Amelia's contribution was bringing her umbrella out to "keep the igloo from melting:)"
It does all of us so much good to bundle up and get outside each day (even if the prep and aftermath are no fun at all!)
I let them eat a sugar cookie before breakfast one morning. They were very, very excited:)

We went to "A Candlelit Christmas" at This is The Place this year. It was really fun, peaceful, and so neat to see a live nativity with them. A great thing was that we saw some friends leaving as we were arriving and they got us in free with their membership--thanks friends!!!



Another thing we have been loving is watching birds eating from our new bird feeders! They are coming by the droves. One of my new years resolutions is going to be to learn the names and songs of our bird friends (as well as flowers, plants, trees, and bugs--it's going to be a busy year! Haha).

I think I'll end here. Christmas pictures coming soon. It was a pretty simple, special day! Jen
