And then there was...

...this tree and its fallen limbs - not mine.  (Note the branch hanging out of the gutter/off the roof.)

So glad this isn't on my roof!

Did you notice the crack in the branch?  This one is hanging on by a thread.  That's all that kept it off my roof...and off my car!

Hoping you can make out the debris field.

Remember what my car looked like before?  And the lack of any sign of a sidewalk?  I scoop heavy, wet snow really well!  ;-)

Snow anyone?

It's about time winter showed up!

Backyard

Cool gate!

Cables touching the roof of the shed are the cable TV cables.

This was fun to clean off.

Samson loves playing in the snow and was a very good boy staying in our front yard with no fence.

Christmas as it happens!

More or less...

Sunday, the 18th at Lord of Life...

Making Christmas ornaments

Making Christmas cookies

And now the celebrating moves to the farm...

Practicing for Christmas Eve

Helping Grandma make cookies

Cookie making is serious business!

Something cool...

This was just too neat not to share.  This giant icicle is hanging from the corner of my garage roof.

Dining Room - After (mostly)

The dining room is essentially done.  Of course the tree wouldn't normally be there.  Really all I need for the dining room now is a real dining room table.  The card table doesn't really go with the built in.  :-p

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

What are you thankful for?

Nikki and Ivy are thankful for paper dolls.

My cousin Keli, my sister Sandra, and I are thankful for wine.  ;-)

What girls aren't thankful for Barbies?

(And what grandmas aren't thankful for photo ops?)

Even my cousin Dan is thankful for Barbies!  ;-p
