Winter Activities

This January has proven to be pretty cold yet I think beautiful too. We had a rare morning last week with fog and after the sun cleared the denseness away there was this most picturesque landscape left over. I couldn't resist taking my camera with me after dropping Anna off at school to capture the beauty that afternoon...it reminded me to slow down and enjoy these small moments...and appreciate living in the Midwest.

When the days are cold outside one of our furry children find respite on the den couch. I couldn't resist kicking him off of there...he looked too comfortable and yes, he is very spoiled.

Despite the cold temps it hasn't kept us off the ski hills completely. If you are going to live in the Midwest you have to embrace your surroundings...the girls have gotten the bug to ski!
Even at mom's residence they get in the winter spirit. Mom doesn't have much of a crafty gene in her so I am not sure where I got mine. Anyhow, the residents enjoyed painting hand carved snowmen from a local carver who came in for their arts and crafts time. Nice job mom, but I am not sure how you can see anything without your missing glasses...
