Winter Wonderland

~Beautiful Winter Sunset in Minnesota~

For some of you that do not live in this cold region of MN, I thought you might like to see what our first snowfall looked like for the 2007-2008 winter! So far it has not warmed up... so the snow is still on the ground. Marty said we got around 6 inches on Saturday and more is to come this week. With it snowing outside it was a great day to stay inside and put up that beautiful Christmas tree. These pictures are all taken out of the windows from our house! I didn't even have to go out and get cold!

We are still working on getting the railing for our deck... I think it will wait until spring!

Sure makes shoveling the snow easy!

Gracie helped decorate the Christmas tree... well, sort-of!

It took her about 1 minute to figure out that she could try to reach the ornaments... and she persisted until she got it. She would go from her back to her tummy until she could touch it and grab it. She looked like a little kitty that was pawing at a toy! Needless to say we had to move a few ornaments up a little farther. After she achieved grabbing the balb she then went for the water in the tree stand!!! The joys of having a baby!

Our finished tree complete with the star and stocking on the fireplace!!

We are ready for SANTA!
