Family Pictures 2012

We wanted some pictures for our Christmas cards this year, but did not want to pay the exorbitant prices that professional photo places charge. We did a little research, and finally decided to meet up with some friends who had the same dilemma, and help each other out. We chose a couple of different locations, and started clicking pictures. This is what we ended up with.

Winter Wonderland



 
Our little part of the world got dumped with snow in a winter storm yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of it yesterday from my warm, cozy house. It was snowing when we woke up, and was still snowing when we went to bed last night! When Matt opened the door this morning to go brush off his vehicle and get it warmed up before he went to work, I couldn't believe how much snow we got! The snow was almost to his knees as he waded out to the Jeep!!!! After he left for work, I bundled up and went out to take some pics. It is absolutely GORGEOUS outside, because all of the trees are absolutely laden with snow. Even the trunks of the trees have snow sticking all the way up one side of them. I haven't quite figured out why, though, because it is not packy snow at all--very fine and powdery! The pictures don't really do it justice, but they are all my limited photography skills could handle! *wink*
Come take a walk with me through the winter wonderland at our house!
 
 
 
Our house is tucked back in off the road a little way making it feel very cozy on stormy, wintery days.
 
 
 
 
Looking both directions-up and down- our lane.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Isn't it just beautiful???
I'm enjoying the snow from my windows today, after spending the morning out in it. The forecast is calling for more snow the next three days...I'm hoping they're right!! *smile*
