Santa Clause came to our house. Zach took one look and scrambled onto his mommy's lap! He was so scared!

He then brought a lazer play gun to hold up Santa while he was holding his cousin. He is almost two years old and we got a kick out of his reactions!

He then later on warmed up to Santa and he was Okay!

Everyone likes to play but not today. We got on them and got to the house in record time! Staying in the field was not something we were going to experience any longer!

Our Twin Grand daughters with our newest arrival

On Christmas eve the day was very BRISK! It was in sub zero temps and I had frozen hands taking these pictures even with my gloves on.

Our Trayce is 7 months old and the twins are 2 1/2 years old. They are in Papa's antique Cutter that goes behind the antique snowmobile.

Our Grandchildren

Papa got an antique Panther snowmobile to take part in the Antique Runs that go around Mille Lacs Lake every winter. The boys sure had a fun time driving the girls around the yard! Ha Ha!

we have a MN snow year that has been missed for the last 10 years.

I made these images just last night while suffering from a bad cold.

Our Family Christmas

The Season of Christmas has come and gone. We have made many memories and they are fun and full of laughter! Enjoy viewing these pictures! This swing is in our front yard. Each year we support the Local Boy Scout Troop and purchase the garland and wreaths. Life is this swing in all seasons for our family!

Snowflakes

Poinsettias

Birds

Angels of many kinds

Colors came from Living in California back in the 90's

White, Pinks, Mauves, Gold, Teal, Burgandy

Why? Because after loosing our daughter to Leukodystrophy in 1981 when she was 7 months old we knew she was in heaven.

Then in 1989 we lost our son to the same disease. He made it to 10 1/2 months old. It was then that we had 2 ANGELS amoung us. Watching over us. They became part of our Christmas tradition. I may trade up and go to Red and White poinsettias and white garland. We will see. I will keep a small original tree for memories sake.

O, Christmas Tree

This is the angel that is on the tree top of our Christmas tree. She is about 2 1/2 feet tall and is to be used as a table top angel or to set on the floor. Our tree is 12' high and my son one year put it up there and it worked and looked great! He was so clever to do that and she has been watching over us now for four years!

This is the first snow of the season getting us Minnesotian's in the Christmas Spirit. The snow started Saturday evening and it snowed through the night. Sunday morning we could not see across the street to our neighbor's home. We hated to stay home from church, but we are so glad we did!

It took my husband two hours to clear the driveway with our snowblower. It was then cold and getting very bitter. The sled represents all the kids who would have loved to go sledding or to go ice skating. Today school was called off after we were in a two hour delayed start. Believe it of not, it is -34 with the windchill! Poor kids! First snow, first snowday, first below temps, and they played inside like the magic was here anyway! Today was an awesome day!

Rolling along

I will learn and master this yet. I am excited to be able to share creativity and albums that get the heart to flutter and to have an awh..look at that! Family Love is special and to capture it everyday in one form or another is really special. It is found in the simple things. A smile, a look, the scenery that God gave us for the moment. Everything is made for the breath taking awh. I am hopefully going to have time to upload some pictures soon.

Wow! I have always wanted to do this!

I am finally doing this! I think back on the blogs I have seen and have been truly facinated by what can be done. Sharing, keeping in touch with others when the world is so BUSY! I will be looking forward to using the Creativity that God has given me and as I learn from others. Here's to the future..
