Winter Wonderland!






Well, November is gone and winter is here! It's been a busy few weeks, for sure! The snow really started to fall here in early December. We had non-stop snow for about 2 days straight right after my parents arrived here from Arizona. That was their initiation, I think! My parents are fully moved now and are officially living in Washington now.


Yesterday the kids got to visit Santa. This was the first time we've done this since Emma and Andrew were born. Andrew was a little shy, but the other kids warmed up to him just fine. The kids also were able to make some gingerbread houses from graham crackers and frosting. The candy we have around here would make Willy Wonka jealous! The kids are bouncing off the walls!



The kids just love the snow, and it adds some magic to the season. Grandpa worked on a sledding run behind the house here. The kids just LOVE to sled! Andrew isn't too keen, but it is great fun to watch. Andrew laughs as the other kids slide down the hill. They wear smiles from ear to ear! Bowen says sledding is his most favorite thing to do in the whole world!






Bowen had a Christmas performance last week. It was great fun to watch! All the kids took turns acting out some of the Christmas songs. The kids really did a great job!









Two week ago, we finally had groundbreaking on our property! The contractor dug the huge hole, and the next day he poured the concrete foundation. Woo-Hoo! It's been a long time in coming! We're still waiting for the well to be completed. Once the water is tested, then we're in business! I'm getting anxious to see the house and watch the finishing process!






Enjoy the pictures! Best wishes to you all, and hope to hear from you soon.
