Winter Weather & Christmas Music


I think winter has arrived! We've had our first snow fall this past weekend and things don't look like they're going to be warming up anytime soon. I think our high on Wed or Thurs is supposed to be 13%. I'm not a fan of COLD weather but there is something about snow that is quite peaceful to watch. I know, call me crazy.
Anyway, with snow comes lots of driveways and sidewalks to be shoveled. Blake has been our #1 shovel boy. He has volunteered countless times this week to get out and shovel the walks. I thought the cutest one was when he'd gone out to shovel and we'd called him in for dinner. After dinner when he look out the front window, he couldn't believe all his hard work had been covered by a fresh batch of fallen snow. :)
The kids have been hoping for a SNOW DAY but I keep reminding them, that doesn't happen much here in FLAT Idaho.

This afternoon the kids piano teacher had a Holiday gathering at her house and the kids all played Christmas songs and had treats.

We have a more formal recital in the spring as well as a Halloween recital in October, so when it comes to Christmas, it's nice to have it a bit more low key when everyone seems to be so busy with the Holidays and various activities.

The kids had a great time, and it was fun to spend the afternoon enjoying Christmas music played by a room of talented kids. Thank you Kristy, for being such an amazing teacher and for inspiring so many kids to develop such a love for music. Your GREAT and they LOVE you!

Wow, that was speedy! From that angle, it does look like Blakie is sitting down. Send him with a shovel to my house next week!--oh, wait. It's the break--darn. That was fun, and your kids are awesome. Make them do some playing this vacation!

What a fun piano teacher you have!:)
We're so jealous that we are missing out on the snow!!! We came to Phoenix Sat. night. Had a beautiful hike up to a waterfall in the White Tanks yesterday, but what we're really wanting right about now is some great sledding snow....
