46/52: November Snow

49/52: Snowy Day and Baby Dolls

3/52: Snow Days

We finally had our first *real* snow of the winter and boy, was it a doozy! At least 33 inches here, much more in some drifts, and the kids are having an absolute blast in it!

Peter (14 months) still hasn't been out in it, but he's loving the fact that there are shoes all over the place that he can carry around the house!

{PHFR} Snow Day!

What's the best way to accomplish a photo dump of a blog post?  Link-ups!

The ice on the tree branches - plenty of them are lying broken in our yard but thankfully nothing fell on any power lines, so our power stayed on!  I know many others who weren't so lucky...  It's beautiful but treacherous!

In from the snow and warming up with some snuggles!

(And the first of my dozen snow day pictures - totally counts for TT, right?  I really should just have saved last week's picture and used it, because it fits the dozen theme too!)

Not exactly the most sincere smile...

Trying to capture pictures of the kids going down the slide in the snow - the slick snowsuits made them go faster than I've ever seen them go, they were FLYING off the slide so fast I couldn't believe they kept doing it again!

Gotta love those faces!

I was thinking, "Man, I wish we had a pregnant Mary so that she and Joseph could travel to Bethlehem..." and then I went down to get our nativity and remembered that we had BOUGHT a pregnant Mary last year during the after-Christmas sales!  She's a rather small pregnant mama, but I love that she's riding the donkey on her way to Bethlehem.

 Also real?  Here's our advent wreath!  I'm non-crafty, so it's just a broken clearance section candleholder inside a clearance wreath from Michael's - totally covers up the broken part of the holder!

Picture from last week, which is why only one candle is lit!

Okay, triple link-up!  Sweet!  Go check out more "dozen" takes at Clan Donaldson, more PHFR at Like Mother, Like Daughter, and more advent wreaths at CatholicMom.com
