Picture Catch Up

Here are just a few pictures I've been wanting to post for a while.  It's easy to get behind when you take as many as I do . . .

I just thought Madeline looked cute in this one.  She's helping me make frosting for the sugar cookies in the background.  These cookies were pumpkins, but in a week or two we'll be doing the Christmas tree version!

 What a surprise to wake up Sunday morning to a foot of snow.  Todd shoveled for a while, then I went out and took over, then he came back out and finished.  We need two shovels . . . oh wait, how about a snow blower!

 But actually, I LOVED being out there.  I loved the cold morning, the birds swooping around, the sound of crunching snow.  I've always liked to shovel snow - don't know why.  I get worn out though, before the job is done.

 I was thrilled to get this perfect coat for Madeline.  A hand-me down I couldn't say no to!!!

 And of course, Ethan LOVED playing in the snow.  Once again we find his snow boots too small . . . hence the super tall socks over the pants.  Oh well, he thought it was perfect!
