House Decorating!

We like to call it Fiesta Navidad with our little group of friends!  First, they decorated the houses, then there was lunch and about an hour of snow play (pictures tomorrow).  Our house elf even decorated a house for himself while we were sleeping...

First Middle School Orchestra Concert!

This one was packed!  We were early and still had to sit in the last row.  I had to sneak up to get a few pictures and it was still hard to get any decent ones, but for what it is worth, here are a few!

Unexpected Sledding Day!

School was not delayed or cancelled on Thursday but at around 11:00, parents were notified that they could pick their kids up if they wanted to.  I must admit that it wasn't really necessary but why miss an opportunity to have a little bit of fun?  Hannah opted to stay at school so she would not miss a test and have make up work, but Mason called from school and from the sound in the background, all of the high school students were taking advantage of this unusual situation! 

Our Tree Is Up!

Three Cuties!

Baketball!

Weapons?

I couldn't find Dylan so I went out in the yard and came across this sight.  His dad had found some fun for him.  Eventually, the girls showed up and it was a scene worth grabbing the camera for.  We had Katniss and the boy from "A Christmas Story" out there together.  I love the look of disdain on Mason's face as she holds a BB gun for the first time.  Andy thinks maybe Dylan needs one for Christmas but I know he will shoot his eye out...
