I am finally starting to get some things hung up on the walls in our house. This is my upstairs hallway, across from the laundry room. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to hang in this area, and I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out. Both of these pictures are from my grandparent's house in Tabor. The closer of the two is my Grandma Dalene, her sister and their grandmother. This particular picture is one I have been wanting for some time. A picture of my very special grandmother, with a grandmother that she had told me was very special to her.

The other picture is my Grandpa Warren with his brothers and sister. Another picture of someone very special to me, and yet so pretty and artistic. A perfect addition to my house.

It case you didn't know this about me, I am not a big fan of winter. But on this particular Monday, I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful winter scene then the one that we were living in. I was so taken by it that I could not let the sunny hoar frost go by without getting some pictures. I went home from work on my lunch break and grabbed the camera. I went out walking and had a nice time taking pictures and playing with camera settings. I wish I had the time to do that more often, but even if I did have the time, nature is rarely this giving!

The Christmas aftermath. My wreck of a house. I would like to be able to say that, since I am posting this on January 2nd, that everything is in order again but that would be a lie.

Santa came!

We woke up on Christmas Eve morning with LOTS of the white stuff on the ground, and it wasn't slowing down as it continued to pour out of the sky nearly all day. Zoey spent a good deal of time out on the deck, because she couldn't decide if she wanted in or out and I was getting tired of toweling off a wet dog!

I have been hoping for a while to capture one of these moments. This is truly typical day in the life of the Coobs family. Our girls are earlier risers than Cory and I and so many mornings when we don't have to get to work and school, we spend some time slowly waking up and hanging out in our bed. I love this part of our weekends, and I think the girls do too.

A long day, and a long week of anticipating all of the festivities to prepare for, and finally, we are home for the Holidays! I celebrated with a margarita that I wasn't able to finish before I found myself heading to bed.
