Brrr it's cold outside, and I am very thankful for my warm home. It snowed here all day Sunday and was so pretty. Nothing stuck, but it was light and fluffy and flying around everywhere. Did you know that a trampoline is perfect for viewing the tiny flakes up close? I am sure you already do. But what beauty, Townes finally said, "you already told me 3 times that the snowflakes give God so much glory."

We've been playing lots of card games too. Apples to Apples, uno, go fish, and Dutch Blitz. I love dutch blitz. It would make a great present to anyone. It's fast and furious. It's definitely for a little bit older child. Our 6 year old understands but is not very fast, so it frustrates him. Our 9 year old wins half the time, so there you go. It really is lots of fun.

We've also been enjoying doing a jesse tree Bible time. Though we're already very behind and are having to double and triple up! I am using Ann Voskamp's book, that I bought last year. She is the holy experience blog on my list over there. Her blog is just beautiful, and I think you can download the book there for free. It has pictures to make the ornaments. And since Hutton is mr.el destructo, we are hanging them onto the tree, out of his reach. But she makes a little tree out of bare branches for her home. I love that.

And speaking of el destructo, he is presently "at large" doing his worst, so I better go round up the rascally villain.
