More fun in the snow!

I just took these pictures in our backyard ...

Actually the picture above is taken at the front of our house a few days ago ... our boys were clearing the snow off the drive way and decided to 'cheer me up' by creating this cute smiley face out of snow!

But ... the pictures below were taken in our back yard a few minutes ago; I love how snow makes everything look so beautiful!

Year in Review 2010 ... the last few months:

Blessed with so many handmade cards ...
