Yesterday it began to snow.  Not the frantic, fluffy stuff, but sort of a drizzle, only in snow.  Off and on it went for the afternoon.  My littlest kept asking to put on the snowboots and suit to go play.  So very cute, only by evening the grass was not even covered up.

However, we woke this morning to about four inches of fluffy snow.  It was so beautiful; blue sky, the proper amount of chill in the air, and new insulated snow boots for everyone, including Mommy!  :O)  The night before we strung real cranberries on fishing line; so we took that out and looped it on the tree with the bird feeders.  I don't know that the birds really went for the berries though.  We have been seeing mostly House Finches this month. 

Since my last post, we have not slowed down much at all.  Thanksgiving found a total of 14 crowded warmly in our home and some wonderful fellowship and praises of Thanksgiving to God above filling the nooks and cranies.  The dance "recital" was wonderful!  There was over 400 tickets sold and everyone danced great.

My first month of Irish step dance lessons went well.  I have discovered how uncoordinated and aerobically challenged I am, and it is worse than I thought.  :O)  But, I am learning and my children, who have been dancing a year now, are trying to bring me up to speed (their speed) as kindly as they know how.  They don't even laugh at me, bless their hearts!

Thank you for stopping by this year.  Please do come back and visit again.  Leave a comment so I might be able to stop by and visit you as well.  Merry Christmas to all and a blessed, peaceful New Year!
