Merry Christmas!

It looks like it's going to be a white Christmas for us!!

But, since the concrete is poured...

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

(for a while, anyway)   ;-)

This is the view outside this morning. The children are very excited about this.  I'm trying to be excited about it.  I'm not sure why the sound is so loud.  Probably some setting on the camera I haven't figured out yet but take my word, it is very quiet out there today.

We've had some branches come down and it seems our driveway has disappeared. It was just cleared and sanded the other day! Oh well, it is winter after all and we are staying home today anyway!!

It looks so beautiful and peaceful. 

I am going to be taking a break from the blog for a while.  We won't be doing too much with the house and we are going to go device free for the next few days.  We want to truly enjoy this season with as few distractions as possible.  

So from our house to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best in 2015!

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.
