Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

SNOW DAY

We had some serious snow fall on Sunday! This was how our backyard looked after the first hour and half, but it kept dumping on us all day long.
The kids had to get on all their snow gear and go outside to play. Daddy was a good sport and went out with them while Mom and Anne stayed inside and warmed up the hot cocoa.

When we put up our tree this year, I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if it actually snowed this year? We have this big picture window that would just look so magical next to the tree if there was snow out there..."
We made graham cracker "gingerbread houses." Can you guess who's is whose?


Ewan's, Mommy's, Heady's, Camerons
Evan plays the kids the sound track to "Music Man" in the car when he takes them on outings. They love the music. So to pass the day (even church was canceled from the snow) we downloaded the movie on Netflix.
My kids all had to get up and dance! Heather was singing "Shapoopee, Shapoopee!" all day.

So fun! I don't like snow but it sure makes everything look so pretty.

I am so jealous of your blog. It's so much prettier than mine and I can't figure out how to add my friends and family links to my blog. Will you please help me? Seeing as you never called back with your ward list addresses, you at least owe me some help with my blog. I am so sad I missed the Oregon fall--such great pictures! Payson only has pine trees so there was not much of the yellow, red and orange to enjoy. Call me and be ready to help my pathetic blog.
