Last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, Elaina and I got the Christmas lights down from the attic, and before we could start putting them around the driveway, a slow, beautiful snow started falling. Here in Kansas, we sometimes do not see 'beautiful' snow...let alone do we usually have it coincide with something related to Christmas.

Now that a week has passed, I'm ready to take the lights down that are lining the driveway. The squirrels have already chewed the through the wire in 3 or 4 places, so inste

Lewis has his braces off (for now), and Elaina has shot up an inch or two. I don't realize how much they've changed till I look at photos from several months back.

Those pesky squirrels... We planned to put our lights us on the front deck rail before we left last week, but never got it done. Maybe next time.
What lovely Christmas photos. A happy family under the Christmas tree is about the best of all.
