The First Real Snow
This was taken Wednesday at IPFW during our first real snow of the winter. All of the students are bundled up in winter coats and other things to keep them warm from the weather.

Christmas Time is Here
I went downtown to see the lightup Santa like I do every year and i watched as the loads of children marvelled at the sight of it. This little girl and her mom were standing by their car looking up at the lights and the little girl asked if she could, "Go see it up close!"

Slide Ride
This is at the Botanical Gardens Christmas setup out in the exploratory garden. When I initially went out to look around there was only one kid on the slide, but as soon as one kid spotted it and yelled, "It's a slide!" A swarm of children came running to line up for their chance to go down.

Favorite Spot
This is Boo's favorite spot in the house. She alwas lays here  to watch cars and people go by. She also lays here when she is waiting for Mom or I to arrived home. Usually she is accompanied by the new puppy addition  to the family, Bella. But my bet is that Bella is in the house getting into something that she isnt supposed to. Boo uses this spot as well to check out who is on the front porch ringing the doorbell.

Cookies!
My best friend, Holly, and I were bored one night and decided to make some christmas cookies to get us in the spirit of things. Holly being the perfectionist she is, had to frost all of the trees green and all the candy canes white and red. We had a great time just goofing around and the cookies ended up turning out pretty good!
