Winter Wonderland

Just some of the fun I've been having with the new camera...

God's snowballs

Yesterday we had a really strong wind, and God made snowballs all through our fields! A phenomena we've never seen before!

They are about a foot in diameter but unfortunately when the boys went to see if they could use them to make a snow fort or man, they just broke into powder in their hands.

Thought I'd better take some shots while I could...they are calling for up to 60 cm of snow tomorrow!

Our Christmas Tree Excursion

In reading the blogs of family members it appears you are supposed to post pictures of your outing to get your tree. So, here are ours. We just started going to cut our own tree last year, and the kids just love it. This year was a bit of a challenge as the snow was up to their waist in places, but they trudged on, determinded to help mom and dad find one that was "just right." Seems they've all inherited some of the perfectionist genes. When Shannon had finally had enough she just laid down and made a snow angel.
