Nutcracker Snow Flurry

Lydia was a boy, a soldier, and a snow flurry this year.  She was a flurry for the bow.  Snow is our favorite Nutcracker scene!

Looks and FEELS Like Christmas

The morning of December 20th, we had a Christmas snow!  The kids woke up to my announcement of snow in the predawn darkness, and leapt from bed and into their snow clothes.  They had a wonderful couple hours with Kimberley and Oliver next door on their slopes, sledding, throwing snow balls, and building a snow man.  Lydia came in the house before ten to preserve her energy for Nutcracker!  Grammy and Grandpa arrived in the afternoon!

Military Angels

I am being spoiled as a military spouse!  Thank you to my angels!  Cards, cards everywhere, and yesterday I received a Thanksgiving bouquet delivered to the door.  Flowers for me?  It must be some mistake.  Nope.  Had my name on it!  Thank you!

Busy Kids

Busy Mom, Busy Kids.  What do my kids do all day when Mom's not keeping them otherwise engaged?

My colorful corn collection from Case Farm.

My welcome wreath.

I'm quite pleased with it.  I had the little corns and ribbon in saved decor and wrapping collections.  I studied my mom's bow to create my own.  Find the little bird camouflaged right in.

Lydia has something new.
