A glimpse into my day...

Santa!

 We went to the Green Valley Book Fair on this snowy day and guess who was there? Santa! It was Jack & Carl's first official sit down with the big man, we've never found a free one before! The snow must have kept people away because there was only one other baby there. Jack was shy at first until we told him he could tell Santa what he wanted, then he jumped up on his lap and rattled off a couple things! Carl was happy to wave at Mr. Claus but wasn't too interested in going near him, tried & tried to get a picture. Finally, I told him I needed to get a picture for Pawpaw. Magic words there, that boy sure loves his Pawpaw! He only stayed for a minute and showed Santa his book and then he was off again!

Jack was fascinated by his fuzzy coat.

Ummm, I want a new bicycle, a sleigh, and a car.

Carl, go sit with him, I need to get a picture for Pawpaw!

That's a very nice book you have there young man!

Ok, I'm done!

Second Snow!

Jack wakes up first in the mornings and if we're still asleep (or appear so to him), he walks into the living room and turns the tv to the weather channel. This morning we heard him go "Whaaa?" and then he ran into our room and said "IT SNOWED DADA!" This picture was taken just before I headed outside, snow and Christmas are the two things that get me out of bed early and happy! 

I have a bit of a fascination with our lights.

Can't even see the farm!

Our cozy home. :-)

BUUNEEEE!!!

The landlords dog having fun in the snow. I miss having a dog to play in the snow with.

 

Who is this? First I've seen this variety of birdie here.

Looks a wee bit chilly.

So glad I was able to find them snow boots. Carl's were at the local thrift store and Jack's were at a yard sale. Kept their feet nice and warm, next on the list is finding snow suits! It gets so cold up here when the wind starts blowing! 

SNOWBALL!

Starting on "Frosty". I found the movie for cheap at Target Thanksgiving weekend and the boys were watching it nonstop for a while.

What's that in the tree?

Hmmmm...

Birds! 

 

It's a bit difficult to move a snowball that's almost as big as you are.

Snow angel! Carl didn't quite understand the concept, this being his first snow angel, and laid right down on top of Jack's to make his.

Lookit at all the dang birds! They made their way up to the house and ate ALL my bird feed!!! All I want for Christmas is some bird food.

Working on the middle.

Whew, hard work!

 

No no, I'll do it Cawool!

I got distracted by the birds while they were finishing up Frosty.

Oh no, Carl's going down!

Samurai Snowman!

Got a thumbs up from Jack, high praise indeed.

My umbrella!

First time this guy's come around too!

It's so FLUFFY!!!

These birds have no fear, they're the only ones who don't fly off when I come outside and they're not scared by the bully Grackles either.
