The 6th day of Advent brought us a snow day! No school for me and the kids! We were up in the dark, very early this morning(courtesy of Greta) watching the snow fall. I get as excited as the kids when the white stuff starts to fall... an early morning means extra time to play with their advent calendar toys.
early morning cat prints in the snow.. for some reason the cat wanted to be out in the snow and kept sneaking outside.. crazy cat.
Fieldin did a drawing of santa in his sleigh with Rudolph.. I love it.
We had time this morning to finally decorate the tree that has been sitting empty for a week. Every year our tree is different.. Just like every year itself is different. It is so fun to see the ornaments we have collected in our travels, the ones we have made, the ones that have been given to us and those we've inherited. It makes us all feel very blessed.
The kids also decorated the little tree this year with German ornaments. I love it.
The Babbitt tree 2013. We have enough ornaments for two trees so we pick and choose each year. It is a mishmash but it all seems to come together and work just right.
We have a lot of old light ups around. Jeff loves these.
Snow.. Snow.. SNOW.
Sitting on the front porch. We inherited the decorations from Jeff's grandparents. His grandpa made the deer. We are running out of places to put all Jeff's decorations..
Snow Angels in the front yard
sledding on the hills above our house.
We warmed up with soup and hot chocolate and now the kids want a movie day. It is still snowing here so that sounds like a good plan!
