Snow & Lights

We have a lovely blanket of snow right now. It started coming down yesterday after church and stopped a little later in the afternoon. It feels so calm and peaceful when it flutters down, I love to watch it. I also love Christmas lights in the snow, they seem more magical to me.

Jasmine Walk

A few nature pictures from the day after Thanksgiving. Lots of tree pictures for some reason, I couldn’t choose just one.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Time to catch up, if it’s not too late. Todd & I spent five days over the holiday weekend with his family. It was a lot of fun this year because Todd’s brother Keith & his girlfriend Samantha flew up from Arizona as well as Todd’s Grandma from Michigan. His sister Kali lives in the area and stayed for a night too, it was a full house!

We had two turkeys this year, one barbequed (pictured) and the other oven roasted. The BBQ turkey was done about an hour before the oven one so we had that as the appetizer. I didn’t get one big picture from our Thanksgiving dinner because we all couldn’t fit at the table :)

I have  few more pictures to post tomorrow.
