Mother & Child

A mother cradling her child, a loving family.

It is a universal emotion: the fundamental one.

No other image no matter where you are from

envokes such a feeling of hope and love.

My family and I wish you A Very Merry Christmas

filled with the warmth of your family and all those

you love.

Snowed in

We've been snowed in for 2 days.

 I have more pics to show later when my daughters camera is charged.

I hope we can get out today, I still have a few things to do before Christmas.

It was so beautiful out there, a Winter Wonderland.

My back is killing me from shoveling both cars out.

Marc worked the road with the plow on the ATV all day yesterday, the sun was shining

so that helped too.

We have a very long drive way with a killer hill.

I hope we can get up it today.

We will have a White Christmas for sure this year :)

Well hello dolly....

that's hello dolly cookie bars that is ;)  Are you all getting your baking done too?

 Well I have and boy has it been hard not to eat them all!! LOL

 The house just smells so sweet it is hard to resist.

I baked and then baked some more while listening to Frank, Tony & Dean on the radio.

It is such a wonderful feeling and brings back so many great memories.

We dipped our pretzels in chocolate, made our Italian cookies, struvella and wandas. This is only the beginning. Going to layer some pretzels and nuts in white chocolate and break like bark. I think these will  make some great teacher gifts :)

Of course there will be more to do as we get closer to Christmas but we are off to a geat start. If I can just stop eating as I bake!!

 I Hope you are enjoying this time of year.

~Merry Christmas~

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This is what we woke up to this morning and it is just keeps on snowing. We were only expecting a light dusting but it has not stopped since early this morning. I am not ready for snow I haven't even racked or blown the leaves yet!!!

Goes with out saying my girls are very happy about the first snowfall of the year.

Ok I will admit there is something magical about snow everything looks beautiful.

And I am finally pulling out some decorations. I usually have it all done by now

this year I am doing it very slowly.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
