Happy 3rd Birthday!

Avery.... she's our blue eyed, keeps us laughing, pull-up loving, panty hating, good sleeping, blanky loving, chocolate milk drinking, fruit eating, strong willed, fit throwing, sweet as can be, dress up loving, so cute she's edible, tiny dancing, hair combing,little stinker. And oh, how we love her!!

Graham cracker houses

So we made candy houses out of graham crackers. Can I just say it is so much harder than it looks!! (Amy Earle, you made yours look so easy!!) Luckily my kids don't notice that I'm not great at making candy houses. They had a great time making them. They are really quite proud of their work. They turned them into candy barns and placed their ponies in the scene.

daylight

Well, we are losing daylight quickly now. December 21 is the shortest of the year so we will have about an hour of dusk. Right now our sunrise is at 10:43 and our sunset is 2:42. We have been here for 3 years now and it still blows my mind how dark it is. Even when it's daylight it is cloudy so very rarely do we get direct sunlight. Yes, I will now be hitting the tanning beds, gotta get my uv rays somehow right?! That said, it really is very cozy and warm for Christmas!
