A Snowy Week

Happy New Year!!

The Christmas season has been beautiful here, so far. I got to visit family out in the country in Central PA, and we had a very snowy Christmas week! 

I got back from church on Christmas morning and was thrilled to stop and see all the snow. 

I just love it out here. There's so much space. And the snow makes everything so quiet!

The snow makes all the trees look like Christmas!

(Maybe a coat and boots will help for exploring in the cold)

I went to chase the squirrels away from the bird feeder... but scared the birds, too.

(Early Christmas morning there were a lot - the Bluejays and Cardinals made it look just like a Christmas card!)

After a lot of patience, one came back. 

Can you find it?

Then, I couldn't wait to go back inside and open presents!

My Christmas presents were fantastic!!! I got some new books and clothes, and a new doll arrived... she's Dell, a Hearts for Hearts Girl from Appalachia, USA. I'll tell you more about her in the morning. I think my absolute favorite present, though, was getting to video chat with family that lives far away.
