Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

It's early Sunday morning and I couldn't wait to get out of bed and see the results of our first big winter storm! We already have 6 inches and it's still coming down! BEAUTIFUL! Hopefully we'll be out cross country skiing by the afternoon!

An Elegant Christmas Tea

Our church holds an annual Christmas Tea for all the women. It was a wonderful time! My table was set with beautiful green depression glass. The men of the church wore bow-ties and served us, while we were serenaded by Christmas music on the piano. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon!

The Elves Arrive!

Sarah's family tradition is to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. It was fun to pick out a tree in Iowa and help decorate! Sarah didn't waste any time once we arrived back in Michigan. Our little Charlie Brown tree (courtesy of friend Erin) made its debut the week after Thanksgiving. Here's a night shot!

Happy (LATE) Thanksgiving

Sorry--It's been a LONG time since the last post. But thought I'd take a minute to catch you up on November & December in the Bolthouse House:-)

We headed back to Iowa for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was less than ideal for the drive there and back, but we made it...and even had a little smile on our face! Lucy made the trek with us (to her utter dismay--she hates car rides!). Here she is in her "home away from home".
