Santa, Snow, Singing, Snagging!

First...Santa. I stole this clever idea from my good friend Jody and her blog. She always finds the coolest things online! Please click on the links below to see if Drew and Luci were naughty or nice!

Second...Snow. Our area got its first real snowfall last week. (We got a doozy of a winter storm in the last few days, but the pictures below are from the snowfall not the storm.) I love how it looks like everything got covered in white sugar!

A little sun peeking through the snow covered branches. Very serene!
My dad hung up some entertaining squirrel feeders recently. Here is a red squirrel trying out the hanging corncob. A day later, we found that the squirrels had chewed through the rope, so he outsmarted them by replacing the rope with a small chain.

Thrid...Singing. The girls had their Xmas concert this week. Here's Luci mid-song.
Soaking up their well-deserved applause!
Drew's turn! This makes me cringe...everyone sharing hats! PLEASE don't let her end up with head lice!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!
The end pose!
And finally...Snagging! (As in snagging an award!) Luci gets her chance to take home an award at the school's assembly this morning. Here she is showing off her Teamwork award!
Not only did she snag an award, but she snagged TWO! Here she is with her Excellence in Music award! She couldn't be more proud of herself! That grin was on her face the whole time!
Way to go, Luci!! We're so proud of you!!
