2018 Ornament Exchange


Thank you Amy, Danice, and Becky for the wonderful ornaments! I can't wait to put them on our Christmas tree!!

I forget to get a picture of the ornaments I sent. They were small handmade Santas I got on Etsy, and I included a Santa hang-tag as another ornament or package decoration.

Since Thanksgiving was "early" this year we have not yet gone to cut a tree. We will probably be going next week out to the tree farm, I can't wait!

More Snow & More Randomness

We got some more snow! It's been bitterly cold lately, but it looks to be warming up slightly. Glad for that.

We took our ducks to the Big Puddle. It was quite the adventure getting them down there! Grapes (white) has been there before many times, but the ducklings had not. We tried herding them down, it was very comical, but we made it. I ended up carrying the black one most of the way, she was the only one of the ducklings we could catch.



Once down there, we tossed them in the water and they LOVED it. They had a grand time and we stayed down and watched them.



The sun even poked out a couple of times. After a long while, we headed back up, leaving the ducks in the water. But that didn't last long. Once we were out of Grapes' sight she started quacking and got out and followed us. The ducklings not far behind her.



Anabelle throwing snowballs to Zorg. He loves anything he can catch or fetch.



During grammar Navarre decided he wanted to snuggle with his Auntie Anabelle.



And of course we had to take pictures of his sweetness. :)



My sweet Sadie Mae, faithfully sleeps next to our bed. She is a very loving dog.



We call these two "the brothers with other mothers... and fathers". They sleep together in cute positions every day. We've never had cats that were so bonded before! They came from two different shelters, Navarre is a little bit older, but not by much.



Little Star helping his mommy wrap a present. He's so cute.



She was wrapping a gift for her brother. She wrapped it, put in a box, wrapped the box, put it in another box, wrapped it too, and so on. LOL.



Well, it's Monday again. I hope you have a great week! Christmas is next Monday, hard to believe the year is nearly over. I'm hoping next year will be loads better and we can start fixing up this house. More on that later. I don't think I've told the story of this place we bought yet.

Got Some Snow

Not our first snow of the season, but it's the most we've gotten so far.

Hubby took these for me while I sat inside and ate my breakfast and sipped coffee.







Snow chickens.



Snow ducks.




Our 13 year old daughter took these on her phone and sent them to me.

Cabins in the snow.





Thin ice on the big puddle/pond.



The dogs are loving the snow. Sadie Mae (yellow) was rubbing her face in it, typical Great Pyrenees reaction to snow. ;)



Zorg is a Labrador/Rottweiler mix. Sadie Mae is Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepard/Saint Bernard mix.
