I posted some of these pictures on Facebook but for those who are strictly bloggers this is one of the two days we spent up in the mountains when Joel was in town. We had so much fun. Everyone stayed warm enough and it was beautfiul perfect snow to play in.

Emma and Ethan are such good friends. She is very good with little children, it is a gift of hers. Emma and Ethan went outside to play after Sadie and Isaac got on the bus and found a frozen world full of fun things to do. Like ice skate in the sand box and make foot prints in the frosty grass!

Angel baby and not so angel baby. Ethan put his hat on that way himself. My children bring me such joy without even trying.

Joel hard at work. He sent me this picture this morning. He is amazing!

We had so much fun on our annual Christmas tree day. Breakfast with my brother Jeremy's family in the morning and then on to Snowshoe Evergreen to cut down our trees. Thank-you Grandma Martha for helping us all and Jeremy for cutting down our trees after my kids hacked them up with the saw. I love my family!

The day before Thanksgiving Neeley's kids and mine plus Josh and Sharsti went to Owen's beach. It was cold but beautiful. It was good to get to know Sharsti's fiance a little better and also to see her so very happy.
