Audrey offered to pose for me outside so I could play with my camera and new flash.  

Megan posed for me during a break from sledding.  

We finally received enough snow to go sledding! Audrey had to work early, so she missed the fun. We played outside for over an hour before we decided we were ready to head home for something hot to drink.

The weather this winter has been very mild. Only this last week has there been a few days cold enough to try frozen bubbles.

Just having fun experimenting with lights and different things my camera can do. This is a picture of our tree lights.

Years ago, we went to visit our friends, the Sellers. They had some multi colored light sabers that the kids enjoyed playing with. When it was time to head home, Dave gave us enough for all.

Surprisingly, all but one of the light sabers still work. We have never changed the batteries and we still play with them.

This week Allan had a business trip and came home very late on Wednesday. So I stayed up waiting for him while playing with the sabers and my crystal photography ball.

This is Tyson. He is enjoying spending Christmas at our house this year. Here he is, eagerly waiting for Santa’s arrival.

The library had a program where you could order hot chocolate mixes.  (I has asked before and was told that the different events was for any age.)  I knew that Santa was supposed to make a visit, and thought that would be fun for Megan, but that everyone would enjoy the hot chocolate.  So I ordered one for each child.

My children liked the hot chocolate and the candy canes with it.  They enjoyed the picture books that Santa delivered. Adrian especially, he got a joke book!  But they loved the melting snowman slime.  Everyone made their slime a different color and have enjoyed playing with it a few times.

I enjoyed that my children had a unexpected visitor and enjoyed being silly a few minutes with him.

Since we did not have much family time over summer -we were not all together from June-Sept and most of the time it was just Adrian, Megan and I- Allan treated us all to a week vacation in Gulf Shores Alabama.

One day we roamed Fort Morgan. It is a wonderful fort and I would love to roam it again. Audrey discovered this passage way that led to a hidden room.

The lighting was so nice, I asked Andrea to stand in the corner. She decided to interpret it differently than I meant at first 🙂 . So thankful for children who have a good sense of humor!

More vacation pictures coming…
