Yay.......Winter is here!

One of our biggest pleasures in life is our family. Three years ago February our little grandson was born. Last year I remember it snowing this time of year. He didn't know much then, and hardly paid attention to the cold, white stuff just outside our door.

Today was different!

He arrived yesterday around 4 pm, and so it was getting too dark to go outside. Didn't matter to him as we had plenty to keep him occupied right here in the house. The tree is decked out, the mantle full of green holly and Nana's Santa candle collection. The whole living room and family room look like Santa's home with needlepoint collages, porcelain figurines, candles, candy canes, choo choo trains full of candy coal and family pictures.

The northern reaches of the nation are experiencing a cold front that is moving down from the Arctic, and we are no exception.

We woke up to sunny skies, temperatures in the 20s and 2" of snow on the ground.

After a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, and donning our coats, and boots and gloves and hats it was time to go outside and play in the snow.

We love having our little grandson around.
