Snowstorm-Again!

They predicted it for days, all the time I wasn't particulary concerned because it seems they are never right, but they were this time! We were pummeled with a snow storm that brought with it about 12 inches of sparkling white snow.  I find it hard to convey the actual depth from the lens of a camera, but I'm sure we all know MI well enough!

Trip to Bronner's

Ho, ho, Ho...Luke? HA!

Which tree do you think Maggie would pick for herself? Hmmm?

Bronner's of Frankenmuth is filled to the brim with ornaments and everything Christmas. I had never been there before and neither had my kids, so we tagged along with the Thon's as they celebrated Mia's 3rd birthday there. It was a fun day and Luke & Maggie each selected an ornament and had it personalized.

Meet Little Big Paw...we rescued her from the woodshed, where she was trapped beneath some logs. She perked right up and is a sweet little kitty. And, yes she has extra 'toes' on her paws.

Hanging Ornaments/Christmas Tree

Each year, the kids get to pick out a new ornament. This year, Maggie chose Hello Kitty.

And, Luke chose a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. 

Our finished tree!!

Snowstorm

We had a nice snowstorm to usher in December! I would say we received between 6-7 inches. What better to do than to build an igloo??

Taking a break!
