Winter White in Early December

     Well, yesterday we got a little snow here.  It fell off and on starting around 2:30pm until well after dark.  By about 7:30pm last night enough had fallen that we were able to make snow cream.  I scooped the top layer off all the play toys we have on our back deck and made a batch while the girls were getting their bath.  It was a little icy, but still Yummy!  The snow was so pretty coming down, I'm so glad we got to see it fall during the day.   
     Yesterday was a quite day around the house.  I caught up on loading pictures onto Facebook and we started our decorating.  We are going low key and sparse with our decorations this year.  John Mac is into everything and I just don't feel like fighting him over all my collections of nice stuff, so this year; no Baldwin Brass Ornaments on their special trees, no angel collection, and no Christmas tree collection.  I will put out the Nativity Scene, my Christmas plates in the kitchen, a few other things here and there, and put up some outdoor decorations.  As I've been entering this post he's already broken one ornament and we just started putting them on the tree this afternoon.  He's a pistol, but he's my pistol and most of the time I'm laughing at his adventures.
     This morning we went to church and enjoyed a nice sermon from a visiting pastor.  This afternnon Daniel helped a couple of Scouts with a Scout project, I've been cooking for our Sunday School Class Christmas Party tonight, and the girls have been decorating the tree.  After they go to bed I will finish the parts of the tree they couldn't reach and probably do a little ornament rearranging.  The Christmas Season is upon us and I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life.
