Let it Snow

In all my life, I had never seen a snow storm like this one in St. George.  It just kept snowing.  All day long.  For 10 hours!  We got at least 6 inches!  We just don't know what to do with that much snow!

The "Before"

I bought this chair at DI.  I am going to refinish it and recover it for Hannah for Christmas.  At least, I hope I can.  I have never done either, and it could go badly.  Here's hoping!

Pack Meeting

Seth received a couple of belt loops at pack meeting tonight.  They awards were in the shape of a rocket.  Seth is pretending that the rocket is heading for his eye.

Once There Was A Snowman

We were surprised by a big snowstorm overnight.  (it is always a surprise, even if it is predicted)  Cru wanted only to make a snowman.  So we did.  It was not great snow for building, but we made it work.  His buddy even came over to see it.  I asked Cru to put his arm around the snowman, and this is what he did.  So cute!

All About the Tree

We attended the Tree Lighting Ceremony, and then came home and decorated our own little tree.  Always busy at Christmas-time!

Neighborhood "Giving Back" Party

Our neighborhood held a party instead of giving neighbor gifts for Christmas.  We had hot chocolate and brought treats to share.  You could choose to donate the money you would have spent on neighbor gifts to a local battered women's shelter.  Our little neighborhood raised over 500$ cash, plus donated a ton of items...and we avoided the super stressful task of assembling gifts for dozens of people.  WIN-WIN! 

Decorated

It was fun to decorate a new place this year.  I am REALLY wanting a new tree next year, but we will see...
