it's beginning to look...

like Christmas!!! Well certainly outside!!! forcasting 4-8" of heavy, SNOWMAN BUILDING, snow tonite...!!!

(update...we got some snow...but basically it was raining slush! still forcasting an additional 5" for today...) Just west of Milwaukee...though, they got 18" of the white stuff!

out shoveling this morning...




...and we just got a call from school that they have no power for at least a couple hours...so they are taking the whole school over to the recreation dept...building...now THAT sounds like an adventure!!!

Package from TASMANIA arrived by my door! We (maddy and I) had to research where the package came from!
Sweet, Grace and I were partners in Vivian's elf swap! Just look at my sweet little ELFIN!!! And make sure you skip over to her etsy shop for such a delightful array of stuffies!!!!



Thank you, Grace and Viv!!!!

Just a little bit of frost and these little berries were peeking their heads out of the crust just begging for a last pic before they are blanketed for the season...



This month has flown by so fast thus far! Whhhhoooosh and it will be gone! Still so much to do!

Just making supper and I was struggling to open a package (you know the ones...you pull and pull at the seam then POP! ALL GIVES WAY AND YOUR FLOOR IS COVERED WITH THE CONTENTS! Maxx was watching me and goes, "NONNIE, you have to go...UUUHHHH" AND HE GRITTED HIS TEETH, SQUINCHED HIS EYES...UUUHHH!..then he reached up to squeeze my muscle on my arm...(well where there is SUPPOSED to be a muscle...and he goes...use THAT NONNIE...lol...)



Maxx and his little charlie brown tree...hee hee...he is sooo proud of his sprig!

Miss Maddy came home from school yesterday and had some BIG NEWS...she was voted (ONCE AGAIN)



CITIZEN OF THE MONTH!

This award is quite the honor as they only choose one "citizen" each month...and she also won back in OCTOBER!!! Some kids may have all these fluffy things on their Christmas lists...Maddy has books like A CHILDREN'S ATLAS, BOOK ON THE EARTH, ANIMALS AND THE SOLAR SYSTEM...(can you see my grin?)



If you haven't had the chance to see the movie, THE BLINDSIDE. Run out to see it! It is a really wonderful movie...

Danielle, our youngest, has been doing photoshoots for people in local parks to gain attention for her fledgling photo business...(i got to tag along on a couple of shoots...such fun!)



Dani goes to extremes many times to get that perfect shot...the creek bed was sooo slippery...





..and of course some of her favorite clients were those we MAY recognize...lol


Maxx looks like a giant baby by this tree...




HUGZ TIL NEXT TIME!
