a little update

I think tomorrow is officially winter, but we've been feeling winter weather in a big way this December.



I was going to post some pictures of all. the. snow. but I can't figure out how to take a picture of thigh-deep snow that really leaves an impact. So just picture that to take the photo above (I know, enough with the berries and rose hips, Britt. (but they're pretty, sheesh.)), I had to trudge through snow that was almost waist high. No joke.




didn't last long!

We've been spending our time doing all kinds of things. In fact, it's all a big blur. I didn't even get Christmas cards done, and now it's just too late to start. I can't keep up with everything, but I am trying to make sure the kids enjoy their holiday-ness.



This is #1 and #2 right before the elementary school's annual holiday chorus concert. It was the little guy's first year, and my boy took it very seriously. I even caught him in the bathroom making his hair handsome! (He won't even do that for church.) (He has since talked me into chopping all his hair off so he can make a "faux-hawk.") And he wore a belt, too. For #1, it was old hat, and taking this picture you'd think I was trying to make her eat spinach.
