December Snows

The last day of 2011!  Well, we've had fun.  And we're all together, healthy and happy.  It's been a great year.

And now, I'd like to show you some of the weather we've been having.  Now if you live in Alaska, as some of you do, then you won't be impressed.  However, although not record-breaking, it's still pretty good snow for our area.

So, we had one snow before this, just a dusting, though.  This snow started acting serious!


Then we had THIS snow!  And it acted even more serious!  Right away, the kids were in it, making trails and having fun.


THEN it snowed again.  Like, another foot.  And Shane dutifully shoveled the sidewalk, around the corner to the other sidewalk and driveway, then the entire driveway!


My chickens, snug(would they say so??) in their little coop.


Playtime after shoveling the snow.


Those are some sharp dudes!!! =)


The drive after Shane shoveled it.  Together, we shoveled this thing THREE times.


A photo of the house from the street.  The snow was SO gorgeous, it was all sparkly and light!


My angel making a snow angel.


The boys, sinking down in the deep snow and making "rooms".  


And here are the kids playing (fighting) as the sunny days have melted much of the snow.

So now you can see what we've been up to this month!  Staying inside by the pellet stove between runs outside for some snowball fun.  

Goodbye, 2011!

  1. Ahhh! That is ah mazing. I'm so stinking jealous as not a DROP has fallen here. The Lucas neck deep picture is my fav. I imagine it must be so cozy by the stove.... I think snow is magical. Yes. Magical. Enjoy!

  2. Beautiful!!! Would you believe that I moved here partly to get away from 7 months of snow?? And that I miss it... maybe, kinda, just a smidge. It DOES make you want to cozy up inside. Seeing bare ground makes me feel like a sissy for cozying up inside. :D At least your sun melts it off quickly, that's nice. Fun fun pictures!! Those "rooms" look like fun!
