Some Mondays call for it more than Fridays.

It’s December and snowing. No better time to bust out the grill.

It’s an exhausting time and I’m thinking I can learn from Texas on how to handle the chaos.

Santa isn’t getting cookies tonight.

 

It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.

It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.

And we have been lucky to have met such amazing people along the way.

 

How’s this

My wrapping skills are poor at best. Luke didn’t care which is actually a good sign for his future. He did care that the bow matched.

 

Tired

This is my friend Steve at about mile 36 of his 40 mile birthday run. He’s tired because he’d been running for over 6 hours. This is just how I feel today.

 

Cheesy Goodness

What would the holidays be without a little excess. Say what you want about how it looks but it tasted amazing.

This is Lucy our other house guest. She doesn’t nearly have the attitude of her French companion.

Hugo is staying with us over the holidays. He’s very French in attitude and every bit of a bulldog. He packs a lot of fun in that little body.

 

The Toothless Wonder

The tooth is finally gone thanks to some peer pressure to yank that thing out.

And I wish I were playing it and not taking pictures. It was nice spending time at the rink today.

Ok, so here’s the deal.

The goal for this project was to shoot and post a new picture everyday but that’s turning into a big challenge for me in just a week.

It’s not learning if it’s a game right?

While it’s hard to tell here, Cam was pretty excited about turning in his project. A papier mache version of Ferdinand Magellan’s boat.

 

The Pioneer Way

Our schools don’t close because there is no busing. The boys don’t care, and in fact, they love it.

 

All hands on deck!

Cam’s school project is very ambitious. Any guesses?

 

Latte art?

Latte art?

My latte art skills are seriously lacking and leave a lot to be desired. I can pull a great shot though. It tastes better than it looks.

It was my mom’s birthday today and one of those big milestone birthdays too.

 

The First of Many

The first snowfall of the year means it’s time to get out the shovels. Too bad we can’t put them away until March.

 

Best Day of the Year

So far, at least according to Luke. The first snow of the year is always exciting.
