Snow Reindeer and other wintry fun...

It seems like the only day I am blogging lately is Sunday, so it must be the most exciting day of my week... Today my snow bunnies and I had a great time outside.

Danny and I hung Christmas lights on the house for the first time in 8 or 9 years. It wasn't without its drama and at least 3 trips back to the store for extension cords, more bulbs, and one return; however, I LOVE the result. It will be so nice and peaceful to come home to our pretty lights each night. For some reason I am in the holiday spirit more this year than I can ever remember! I have already wrapped all of the presents I have bought, which is about 20 of them including 2 December birthday gifts. CRAZINESS!! I have even started our Christmas cards and made a little craft project last night. I will have to take a picture of it when it is done and share.

Since, it was almost 40 degrees today, we used it to hang up the lights, and the girls used it to play, roll, throw, scoop, and shovel the snow while it lasted. Skylar started a snowman as the day warmed up and made wet snow. We decided to make a Snow Rudolph with a clown nose and antlers. I really thought the result was adorable! I am sure the birds will pick out the raisin eyes, and he will melt his nose off before the week is up. We will see. I really had a lot of fun helping Skylar too. Danny will say it distracted me from helping with the lights, but they got done anyhow.

I am very thankful to Danny for being supportive and taking on the lights project this year, and for having the time at home to enjoy the kids this weekend!

Great pics of the girls. I think Skylar looks more and more like you. Glad that you guys were able to get out and have fun together in the snow. You lights look like they're beatiful. I'll have to be sure to drive by the next time I'm in Perry after dark.

WOW...we didn't get ANY snow last week. I can't believe how much you got. Good for you for getting your lights up. We usually put light up, but last year we didn't and I'm not sure about this year. I'm thinking we're going to simplify this year with ALL of my holiday decorating. The girls are just too damn cute!

The lights are very pretty, and the girls look like they had a ton of fun in the snow. Christopher is pretty excited that there is supposed to be up to 3 inches by morning tomorrow:)
