Merry Christmas!!

With our bellies full, presents unwrapped and family game night winding down, it's time for this group of four to sit back and relax.  Hoping that you all had a truly wonderful, magical Christmas day!!  

Joy is....

Today is day 23 of the December photo challenge and the theme is "Joy is ___________."  

This is my post.

Joy is my family!!

They are the source of my strength, frustration, laughter and most importantly love!

I am truly blessed!

Wishing you much joy this holiday season! 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Well after a night of blizzard like conditions and power going off and on, I am happy to say the snow has stopped falling, power stabilized and the winds have died down a bit to 40mph gusts from 60.  Have to love living in Nebraska during the winter!! We were lucky last year, having no snow days or major snow fall (5 or more inches). According to a news report, this was the first significant snow fall in something like 294 days.  Wow!!

Anyway here are a few shots after our morning dig out from the 3 foot snow drift in the driveway.  Hopefully the plows will come through and hubby can into our subdivision after work.

One of the drifts in the driveway and finally a semi clean driveway.

Though this one was pretty with the snow on our neighbors bushes.

Now it's time to finish wrapping some Christmas gifts and bake a few cookies.  Enjoy your frost day!!

Snow Day!!

Thanks to a blizzard moving through our area we are blessed with a snow day tomorrow!!

 I know this doesn't look like much but this was taken at the start of the storm, around 4 pm.

Winds and heavier snowfall expected overnight.  We could get 7-10 inches.  Anyone jealous? Or want to shovel for us?  :)  

Old habits...

Good morning!  Did you miss me?  :)  Life had been moving pretty well here, so well that I have neglected my blog since the 25th of November.  Guess old habits die hard!

Here is a brief recap on my happenings...  finished putting up all of our Christmas decor, made a few things as well - thank you Pinterest and the blogs I follow.  Picked up our son from college - looked like he was moving back home with all that he brought back, but that is another post. And started a photo a day plan from Fat mum slim.  Click here for her list and blog.  I know that last one threw you since I tried it before and failed miserably at it.  This one is a little different - she gives you a theme for the day. Love that!!  You also get to share your photos, if you want, on Instagram. Love that too, now that I finally have a smartphone.  My plan was to share them here too, but as you can see, I am a little behind.  I also started the project on the last month of her challenge. Better late than never right?!  :)
My hope is to create a collage of the photos I have taken and share them here, then start fresh in the new year.  Only time will tell.

Enjoy your weekend, I am off to bake Christmas cookies, wrap presents and enjoy my family.
