It's Beginning to Look (and feel) A LOT Like Christmas...

outside and inside.

We woke up this morning to about a foot of new snow! 

It is beautiful but no fun to drive in it.

Inside, we've had the snowflake motif going on for quite awhile.

(It looks like my windows need a good cleaning!)

 Our "Travel Tree" had a couple of new additions...

 Samoan fale

 I LOVE Christmas ornaments and most of them have special meaning...these are two of my favorites given to me by a dear friend.

 We are going to be busy tomorrow delivering baskets of goodies to the widows in our ward. This has become a family tradition and the girls were a great help in preparing them.

 This year all the Christmas cards we get in the mail found a new place to be displayed...the staircase. 

 Can't forget the Samoan nativity set made out of a coconut.

Another favorite tradition...buying the girls a new ornament every Christmas.

I think when they leave home they'll have a pretty good start to their own ornaments.
