Just hear those sleigh bells jingling...

We went on a sleigh ride on Sunday.

It was wintry and blissful.

We went to a place called Beaver Meadows

 with my mom and dad

to experience a fun, snowy afternoon.

We rode in a one-horse-open-sleigh,

sang a couple of tunes,

drank some HOT chocolate and ate some yummy cookies,

made a couple of paper crafts,

and best of all created some wonderful memories. 

We hope to repeat them year after year after year.

Happy Night

My big girls and I are sitting on the couch, in our"new" old  living room, watching "Gilmore Girls".  It's making me happy.  They are really into it and I love that.  They are laughing and talking and commenting and staying up much later than they should, but we are having a nice time.  The little ones are in bed, and Marky and Maddie are leaving us for 4 days; I think that I'm trying to squeeze out the most of the best from the time that we have left before they leave town.  It's a happy night indeed.
