The Great Snow of '09

It snowed, and snowed, and snowed all Friday night and all day Saturday.



The porch was covered in a dusting of snow...



I somehow imagine a kid, up early in the morning watching this and crying quietly to himself at the news.




The birds searching for food under the snow.

Here in Elkridge, Santa comes on the Firetruck

Here he comes (note Daddy's excitement at standing out in the cold!)

Lights blaring and sirens wailing....


Once again, Santa excitement turns to fear...



Bye Santa!

Making our Holiday Rounds at the Mall

With the poinsettia tree.

On the carousel after she insisted on getting off the horse and being held.


Riding the carousel got off to a good start...



Dancing and saying, 'Sanka, Sanka, Sanka' while waiting in line to see Santa; soon followed by crying on Santa's lap and saying, 'No, no, noooo'

Christmas Prep



Below is the real reason we got a big car--so we could carry home a tree! It was our first Christmas tree and had to live out on the porch to avoid any problems from kitties and Stella! Because of its location, I didn't haul out all the decorations but did a nature themed tree.
