Early Christmas

Here is our Christmas card picture. I used some digital scrapbook stuff that I got for free awhile back (last year)(the name on them is CherieMask).

We went and had an early Christmas with my parents this weekend. We had a good time. We were contemplating if we should go or not because of the storm and it ended up not being too bad. The drive over was way easy and drive back had a little more snow, but was fine in our 4 wheel drive car.

Here's some pictures

We have been getting more snow off and on the last few days. Here is what our house looks like today. Really there isn't that much snow, but I'm happy because it's more than we got last year.


Since it's been so cold and with all the snow on the ground, kitty will not go outside. I have to force him out the sliding door and then he'll only stay out for like 10 mins before he's meowing like he's dying. So, he's been a little bored and stir crazy inside. He's been attacking the scratching post a lot lately.





Kaeli always yawns, but here she is in front of our tree.


We haven't decorated the tree yet. I'm thinking of waiting till Christmas Eve to do it.

I thought yesterday was cold

I just shoveled snow in -8! Today there is no wind, so shoveling was about the same as yesterday.

Baby it's cold outside

It snowed more last night and still is a little this morning. And it's COLD outside! Here is a copy of my weather this morning.

Finally snow and we got our Christmas tree!

Normally we see a first snow fall around October or November, not mid December! But it finally came. It snowed off and on yesterday and today. Here is Kaeli playing in it. She loves to eat it and push it around with her nose.

We also went to get our Christmas tree this weekend. We drove a little over an hour to the woods to cut one down. Our tree is a little smaller this year than before. It was great weather. Towards the end it started to snow a bit. There wasn't much snow on the ground. Before we've been hiking through snow that would go to our knees. (Don't forget, you can click the picture to see it a little larger.)

Here I am posing for the picture faking cutting the tree down.

A card, new shotgun, and almost crawling

I made a card! I cased this from a card on splitcoast, from StampinStrazny.

I went bird hunting with Dan the other month and had to borrow a gun. I had a lot of fun, so Dan got me my own shotgun. We went target shooting the other day, so I got to shoot it for the first time.

Wyatt is almost crawling. He gets up on all fours and then kind of lunges towards things and will do a sort of army crawl too.
