Seasonal Bliss

SnowMAN- Crockett Style. Talk about tall, tall, tall! We got our first REAL snow this morning. I love that it was warm enough for the kids to play in, and a Saturday so Mike could play with them. (I requested a pregnant snowman, but they said that was physically impossible to a stack a snowman like that. I think it's a miracle it's physically possible for anyone). Isn't it nice to see a gray house rather than blue?

Adelyn and I are participating in a homemade kid-crafted card exchange this year. She did all the "hard work" and I was the brains of the operation, or at least I thought I was until she started putting the ornaments wherever she wanted instead of where I suggested. They ended up looking perfectly homemade and kid-crafted thanks to Adelyn.
I like to think about the future of our family and holiday traditions. A friend in Colorado made cake rolls as neighbor gifts, so I got the recipe to try the same thing. I think I'm too volatile of a cook to try making too many, but the recipe was so nummy we'll keep is as a holiday family favorite. Thanks Lisa!
