Winter is certainly not our favorite time of year, but as a family, we try to make the best of it!

Enjoy your week everyone!!

The Big Snow

Well...we got another big snow storm. Ray thought we averaged about 24 + inches, but it was hard to tell due to lots of drifting. The kids were bored by the beginning of the 2nd day of being housebound since we are used to going out and doing activties, but we all survived, adnw ill survive until we are back to normal. The cable was out on friday for about 10 hours and that was a big challenge. Not that we watch alot of TV, but it's nice to have it when the kids are bored. More pictures to follow on ways I had to get creative to entertain the kids on a very snowy day.

Snow Day Fun

Snow days are fun, especially when you wake up to a white suprise you weren't planning on!! Snow always makes a beautiful background for some really great photos.

We love to play in the snow.

It takes a while to pile the layers on, but there is always time for a photo session.

Almost ready.

Posing? Snobby? or just plain Sweet? Who knows, but his candid shot turned out really cute.

Let it Snow!!

The editing made this photo gorgeous!!

I love this shot!

Daddy is taking this picture. I should have used the tripod. It would have made a great family photo.

Party Planning

We woke up to a beautiful snow fall this morning. Too bad I have a lot to do today and no extra time for snow to get in my way. Adam's b-day is this weekend and his party is tommorow. Of course falling on the heals of Christmas, I'm not ready. I see a busy day ahead of me and no time to fight snowy roads. Oh well...at least I have 4 wheel drive and lots of determination!!

Playing Around With Photo Editing

I love these effects.

The black and white is precious.

I always like the nice vibrant, clean colors or photos, but these effects turned out kind of neat.
What do you think?

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Isn't it beautiful? The kids were so excited. There is nothing like the first snowfall of the season, especially when you get to build a snowman!
