Snow, snow, snow . . .

It was a great day in Tennessee when we got 3 inches of snow. But almost better than getting that snow was the fact that it stayed around for about 24 hrs. It seems that we always get snow and then it warms up and disappears within a few hours. The kids had a blast as you can see!









This hill behind Grandma Stinebrickner's house was just the perfect size for the kids (and for me). I never liked sledding that much considering that most of what I remember growing up was sledding on the PV hill. That hill, as many of you know, is very steep, long and dangerous. I much preferred ice skating as a winter sport. ;-)

Erin was so funny. She would run down the hill after the kids in the sleds. When they bailed at the bottom, she'd climb in and get a ride back to the top. (She's no dummy!)

Christmas decorations . . .

The following pictures are being posted because SOMEONE wants to see my Christmas decorations.


I DO NOT claim to have any artistic decorating ability. Our tree looks rather sad at times since it has be decorated, and re-decorated, and re-decorated, and re-decorated (you get the idea?) by the kids.


Close up of the ribbon and red poinsettias.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!

Pictures of this and that . . .

This Thanksgiving we were blessed to have a house full of family and friends to share the day. As always around here, we had plenty to eat.






Kaylee caught getting into the candy cupboard. (One special memory from Grandma & Grandpa Brown's house was the candy cupboard. Guess that's why I have one now.)




Matthew's new facination right now is Christmas lights. Loves to plug them in and hopefully they work. He had found this tangled mess of lights and needed Papa's help fixing them.



Erin - such a delightful child - trying to be just like Mommy!




Good friends! Recently had a sleep-over.


Not sure how Matthew ended up in the middle of story time?!?
