happy christmasy things

toothless.

{these photos make me happy in general. her hair is so funny!}

^we like feathers.

cookies. i've been making & eating. yum.

i've also enjoyed having all the snow. most of the time, anyways...

it's the most snow i've ever seen.

shopping for presents. i get so excited to give people their presents!

christmas movies. it's a wonderful life anyone?

how about white christmas?

we haven't watched the it's a wonderful life yet, but we will. we will.

my baby brother will be 11 on the 6th!

what? 11? wow.

he isn't taller then me. yet.

blizzard.

lacey was really upset that she couldn't go outside.

she spent a lot of the day in the laundry room drying off from her morning outside. she was covered on small snowballs. i had to run warm water on her {which turned into a bath} to get all the snow off!

it's blizzard conditions here, people.

we're quite literally snowed in.

i waded through the snow (that was up to my

thighs in some places) to try to get to the mailbox.

only to find that our mailbox fell off the stand. {plow truck?}

so, i floundered back to the house.

things are so snowy, that they've closed a major highway by us. & our church cancelled all it's services.

so, today we spent the day wrapping presents and hanging out with lacey. who went bonkers about every 15 minutes. squirrels are her enemies. they hang out around our deck.

but, since the drifts were/are about 10 times as tall as her, we couldn't let her out.

i think we'll be snowed in tomorrow too. {we can't use our plow since my dad is gone}

i'm praying my daddy & brother get home safe!

painting

After what seems like ages of working on this painting, it's finally done!

yay!

i am so happy with how it looks.

i drew this at the art class i take. {which i've probably previously mentioned}

it's so fun & it's fulfilling to see what your hard work can do.

so for weeks & weeks, this is what i've been drawing/painting!

hopefully lacey's head wont get too much bigger then it already is.

p.s the world around me is now white! i can't believe there's snow!
