Snow days and Christmas cookies


Hannah is ready to go play in the snow.  She can barely move, but she is ready!

Alan is shoveling.  It got to a point where the snow blower just couldn't handle all of the snow we had.  We got a foot of snow in 24 hours-plus 35-45 mph winds.  Our poor driveway was one big snow drift.


If you look closely, to the right of Sam on the ground by his foot, is a little bit of green.  Those are my bushes-the tops of my bushes.  If you look at the bottom left of my picture, you can see the wall of snow.

Baking sugar cookies.  This is day 3 of being snow bound, and I decided the roads were clear enough for us to get out.  We went to Target and got all the fixin's for sugar cookies and then had lunch at Carlos O'Kellys.  We came home, mixed up the mix, cut out the cookies and the kids got to decorate.  Such concentration.

Jacob was very patient and spent quite a bit of time on his cookies.

Sam liked to frost as many as he could.

All done, except for the eating.

And this is the face after eating the yummy cookies.

Our kids and the kid next door.

Hannah in the snow.  She kept falling down.  And then she would laugh.  Until she lost her gloves and the snow wasn't fun anymore.

Better picture of how deep the snow is.

Thank you, Heather, for your comment on my blog...what an incredible blessing we have in Lucey and I know you have in Hannah...Hannah is beautiful. These little ones will go through a lot but I suspect they are both tough cookies and will do well. I don't feel alone at all with such a great network in blogging. I'm in awe.

BTW--Hannah's picture on your side bar...with shorter hair...reminds me so much my my friend, Joy's daughter...Jia...over at Journey to Jia. Have you met Joy?
