White Christmas

It truly was a white Christmas here. The snow started falling late Christmas Day & on into the night. We woke up to a winter wonderland of white! We all grabbed our coats, hats, & mittens & headed outdoors for a little fun in the snow!

 

Who Knew....

Who knew that there was a north pole in Texas?! A great lil'
place that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas!

Yep! That's right we decorate gingerbread barns around here!

                                      

With a little help, of course!

Hope your Christmas season is looking Merry & Bright!

Keeping Little Hands Busy

Okay! How fun was the snow? Steve made Sierra a sled using the bottom of an old wheelbarrow & he pulled her along from the back of his 3- wheeler. We had a blast!

Shaving crayons for our Valentine Tea Party decorations. Shave crayons onto wax paper, cover with another piece of wax paper, melt on very low heat with an iron for a few seconds. Too cute!

Lots of reading on these cold wintry days. There is nothing like curling up with a good book. Something we have grown to love even more around here. :)

Sierra painting her paper mache globe for her Geography project. The mess was so worth it, the globe turned out great. It's a keeper!

** Happy Snow **

Who doesn't love this time of year when the air is crisp & cold. Cold enough for snow! Flurries from the sky to stir the flurries of happiness & excitement within a child's heart. A couple of weeks ago we got to experience the first snow of the season. I have no pictures to post of the beautiful snow because we were not home at the time, but it didn't stop Sierra from enjoying it as she danced around in a store parking lot. We are hopeful that we will see more snow this year. It just seemed perfect to end our day by reading Snow by Cynthia Rylant for our bedtime story.
