Little Penguin Loves The Snow


We got boat loads of snow over past couple of days and have been home bound for 3 days. We have found some fun things to do....like baking and cooking yummy meals, putting away our Christmas decorations, lots of art projects AND......

Our first time sledding as a family. Daddy got our little tobogganer going from the top of our driveway

She's fearless


And I greeted her at the bottom . . . .Mama even took some rides down with her! We had a ball!

Watching the birds feeding from the house has been activity that we have all enjoyed. We have large groups visiting us daily and I put new seed out daily.
