Snow Day!
Well, this is what our street looks like at 1:45 p.m. on Thursday afternoon and the snow is still following steadily. So, we have been spending our day playing, watching Cinderella doing crafts (which for Owen means putting as much glue as he can in one spot) and playing dress up.

Family Fun!
Before I talk about the fun we have been having over the last couple weeks I have to say that Owen knocked out his other front tooth yesterday. When he hit his mouth this summer and shattered the right front tooth, his left incisor (I think) pushed back a bit. Well, that really exposed his left front tooth and he caught it on something when he was falling and it came out. So, apparently things come in twos right? Emma had two broken arms this year and now Owen knocked out two teeth. I am going to write our Christmas letter today, hope I can fit it all on one page!
Today is a snow day and no school for us. It is nice to not have to go to work but this is the third day Emma has missed and we will have to make up these days later. But for now...fun. So, I struggled through what seemed like the easiest recipe for gingerbread cookies. I must have used 6-7 cups of flour just to keep them from sticking to me and the cutting board. But they turned out surprisingly good, so the kids decorated them before nap today and get to chow down after nap. Owen had a lot of the fun with the sprinkles, can you tell which is his?
This is a picture of our gingerbread house we made on Sunday. The kids keep asking when we can eat it.
We went and played in the snow a little on Sunday also. Kylie likes the snow but like playing with passing dogs much better. She looks like she is smiling a little in this picture.
Our lovely Christmas tree. I had to reorganize the decorations because the kids put them all on the bottom or in one spot.
This was taken right before we went tree hunting. It was a fun time and it didn't take very long to find out tree for Scott to cut down. Last year we had snow but as you can see in the picture it was a pretty clear day.
