Please let the days start getting longer soon!

Here's a couple pictures of the trees in my front yard. It is cold today, only in the single digits, and the sun is just beginning to dip down on the horizon. These were taken at 2:45 in the afternoon.







Getcher finger outta yer nose dammit!

Hard to resist posting this one!!

Alaskan Thanksgiving

This year we went to the Shaw's for Thanksgiving. It is alwasy a fun time. The kids were outside most of the day, so I never really had to worry about them getting into trouble. The Sparkles ran around with the Shaw's dog Minnie, and was pretty pooped out at the end of the day. One of the best things was sledding down the driveway. As you can see we all got in on that action. Mary LOVES sledding!

Nancy going down the hill with Mary.




It's getting dark, but you can see Bill, Clara, Sparkles and Mary headed in for supper.

This is Mary bonding with Minnie. There was a huge bonfire in the back yard to help keep the sledders warm.


This is the beautiful pumpkin pie I took.
