Our winter view

When it is calm, clear, and quiet, here is the view that we enjoy off of our back porch. It is really nice to be able to look out and see something really pretty off of the back side of our house since the front side is the school and playground.

New winter coat

My best friend has been asking to see my new coat that I got for Christmas. Well here it is! I sure enjoy it. It is much more stylish than my big down winter coat with a wolf ruff on it that I have had for eight years. I feel so much cuter in this one!

New Year's Day sunset

The sunset says it all!

Smart Cycle

Connor and Gavin love riding their new smart cycle education and exercising bike they got for Christmas. They learn shapes, letters, numbers, and that reinforces what we are teaching them at home. They have a ball riding the bike. I think we have already gone through close to a dozen D batteries on it but they are totally worth it!

Christmas morning

Christmas morning was a wonderful morning for Connor and Gavin. When they had gone to bed on Christmas eve, they left out Christmas cookies and milk for Santa. We had not put any presents out because our house is way too small for them. When the boys woke up on Christmas morning, they were shocked to find a room full of presents. They had a great time opening presents from all of our family.
