The snowman project...

Dad and Austin went out to build a snowman. This is what they came up with. Slightly creepy.

Christmas tree decorating with the Cub Scouts...

This year our cub scouts adopted Christmas trees at Cosley Zoo.
Our whole family went to decorate the tree.

Another great photo op in the snow!

Tim and his Webelos den. It's hard to believe that these guys were all little Tiger scouts not that long ago.

And now they're takin' on the Cubmaster!

This guy is already a wolf scout.

And this girl....I don't know about her...she is something else!

Snow day...

I love taking pictures in the snow.
Something about that white background is so pretty.
And it's so nice to see the kids outside making snow forts and snowmen.

I love these guys!!

I can't remember if I ever posted a pic of the house completed so here it is...that is one loooong house there at the end of the cul de sac...that's for sure...

Christmas Caroling...

This is my favorite Cub Scout event. I love to watch the faces of the residents when the kids start singing.
And to see how some of the scouts interact with the residents is such a joy.

I think this is a win-win for sure!!

Christmas at our house...

Finally got all of our decorations up...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I love Christmas!!

It makes my house feel so warm and cosy.

Come on over and check it out...

Ella's first tree...

This year Ella decided to help me decorate the tree. It was so much fun spending time together and getting her input on the tree decorations. She has strong opinions about how things should be. I love the outfit she chose for this day. What a character!

Hot Tub fun...

Thought we'd take a little night time swim...

and do the Macarena...
and a little YMCA...

Cub Scout Fun...

We had our pack meeting tonight. The kids were so silly. Here is their turkey...

What not to wear...

Starring....

The Cricket!!

Lazy day...

Thought we'd have a lazy day around the house...

We started with a dip in the hot tub... Followed by some homemade hamburger helper and potato pancakes...

Of course Ella thought she should dress up for the occasion.

The Revolutionary war was staged in my living room...

And a good day was had by all...
