These photos were taken when we met our posse for sledding last Thursday. We have a great sledding hill nearby at our local golf course. We try to go during school hours so we have the place to ourselves. I've been noticing how beautiful the snow is this year. How it sticks to the trees, how it blankets the ground, it really is lovely. (Can you tell I haven't had to drive in it lately?)
I've enjoyed finding the bunny tracks in the yard, which have led me to their winter hiding spots. I'm feeding them some old, wilted carrots. I know the "God's raisins" they drop will fertilize my garden. That reference means something to my boss. :) I don't know if she'll read this, but after knowing her, I will always think of bunny poop as "God's raisins" now. Feel free to use your imagination as to why.
I was delighted to learn my parents have decided to make the trip down for Christmas! It will be awesome to have them here and share the holiday with them. DH will have short work weeks, so it will be great to have extra time with him as well.
December has been much colder than usual, and I'm concerned our truly cold month, January, will be brutal, but every week we get closer to spring. :)
I picked up the fish oil for Yumi, and she seemed to eat her kibble even after I dripped a capsule over it. Of course fish oil, I'm sure, is tasty according to cat taste buds. Hopefully it clears up her dry skin.
DH and I had a wonderful Friday fish fry date at Quivey's Grove. We sat in the converted barn, with its rustic, 150 year old, stone walls and wood beams and staircases. They had it decorated for Christmas with a very tall tree which reached high up the stable barn to the beautiful wooden roof. The lights made everything more romantic. I had almond crusted lake perch and DH had the battered cod. It was delectable! We've promised to try and do this more often. Its a perfect way to begin the weekend.

Nice to have that perfect sledding hill so close to home! Looks like lots of fun. How wonderful that your folks will be joining you for Christmas! Date night is a great idea and the restaurant you went to sounds interesting and yummy! Wishing you a good Sunday and week ahead!
That restaurant sounds really cool. :o) Neat atmosphere. :o)
The sledding looks so fun! Dare I say how long it's been since I've been able to sled? Let's just say it's been way too long! I'd love to live someplace where it would just take us a couple of hours to reach a snowy destination so Alex could enjoy a day or two of winter fun. :o) I'm still holding on to the hope we'll have snow, real snow, in Southtown this year. Temps have been colder than normal and we've already had a few days of flurries....*crossing fingers*
Enjoy Xmas with your family!:o) We look forward to time with ours !:o)
Great photos, looks like it was good times for all. That's wonderful news that your folks are coming for Christmas. Glad you enjoyed date night.
