Admittedly, I have been in a bit of a slump regarding this webpage.  So, I thought I could give you all a quick run down of what we’ve been doing...

We got a new one of these– nephew, Jacob

We decorated, made cookies, decorated, made cookies, made more cookies...until my oven broke.  No oven until after Christmas.  So, we decorated.  The cats seem to like it. 

Big hit this year, Lego Advent Calendar.  Lil’ Rounds spent a lot of time in the kitchen.  He likes Snickerdoodles.

Early December, oddly for VA, brought the first snow fall. 

Christmas parties allowed me to spend time with some of my favorite people!!

Grandma sprung for us to see the “Festival of Lights” a great family activity...sorry, picts not so good when you are driving in a car! :) 

“Then, it hit.”  What movie is that quote from??  The ‘blizzard’ with 19 inches of snow that brought VA to a halt

After leaving their sleds at a friends house, the kids had to put their problem solving skills to work.

A wreath box , Rubbermaid lids, and moving boxes make pretty good sleds!!  Well done kids! 

Now we will be going to see Disney’s A Christmas Carol, and preparing for the arrival of my parents tomorrow!  We miss you brotha!!  Wish you were here too!! 

That would be 19, not 9...this is the second ruler!
