Can anyone say...White Christmas?

The snow started early Wednesday morning, and didn't stop until we had 24 " in our yard! I was off work Wednesday through Friday, so I had an extra long Christmas holiday...it was wonderful! I've only been out in Colorado for a little over a year, but they say this is unusual...sure it is!
Jim and I went snowshoeing through our neighborhoods on Thursday and Friday!! So fun, and you usually can't do that because we don't get enough snow or it melts too quickly. Bauer loved the snow. It was very deep for him, but he just hopped and jumped along through it all.
Sorry the pictures aren't the best, I took them with my camera phone, because our camera is broken...bad timing! Anyways, here is our house. Next is our neighbors...I just thought it looked so funny with all the snow hanging off the roof. Ours was like that in the back...we couldn't see out our bedroom window because the snow was hanging so low. Last is Jim and Bauer playing King of the Mountain! Not really, but it was funny because after this, everytime we take Bauer for a walk, he has to run up that snow pile. We still have a lot of snow around our house, and guess what....we're supposed to get another big storm Thursday and Friday!!! My parents are flying in Friday, so I'm praying they don't have any problems. With this past storm, they shut the airport down for 2 days!
Well, hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! We had a beautiful White Christmas here in Colorado, but missed seeing many friends and family back in PA! Hope to see you all soon...Happy New Years!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

I think this was from our 2nd snowfall a few weeks ago, but we woke up on a Saturday morning to this, so we had to go for a walk. Bauer loves the snow! This is a park right near our house, so we go there a lot.

No, this isn't a postcard, just some pretty sweet photography. That's me and Bauer walking.


Sappy, but cute! I couldn't resist!

Long Overdo...

Hi Everyone! I've been meaning to do this for some time, but life has just been crazy!! Anyways, Thanksgiving weekend, Jim, Bauer and I drove over an hour from our house to find the perfect Christmas tree. We had a great time, except that we weren't finding the perfect tree. I kept thinking that, like in the National Lampoon's Christmas vacation movie, I would walk into a field and there would be the perfect tree, with the sun shining down on it. Well, our tree had some sun shining down on it, but it's rather Charlie Brown looking. Oh well, we had fun! It's different from all the other trees I've ever had, and was so pricky that I had to wear gloves to put the ornaments on, but we love it now! We also wanted to get our Christmas picture while we were up there. So, it was kind of disapointing when we noticed there wasn't much snow, actually we found one of the only patches to take our picture on....it made it more Christmas like=) So, Jim set the camera up on a log, and then ran over, all the while trying to keep Bauer's attention on the camera. Which explains why I, the wife, am holding the tree and the dog, while Jim runs as fast as he can to make the picture.
