Jack Frost....

is most definitely nipping at our toes! I figure he has gotten a tad carried away with himself! I thought if I shared the snow drifts with you from last week (and yes, they are still here) that I could not pass up the opportunity to share the icicles with you this time around! ...and I hear it is only supposed to get worse- ACK! And yes, you will find an image of my wind chimes. I have mentioned my fasination with them before, right? Hope you are staying very warm and toasty this Christmas Eve's Eve! ;)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Here is a quick sneak peek of some Christmas portraits I did this afternoon of my girls. I have so many to choose from it is going to be a difficult decision! I HEART their gowns. Aren't they gorgeous??? There are more images on my facebook fanpage. You can be a fan of mine on FB by clicking on the widget to the right of my blog. It's that easy so go ahead and be my fan! I tried to share different images on both places so you can get double the eye candy! Merry Christmas....now I just have to get my cards designed...

Merry Christmas and Custom Cards

Snow Drifts and Cold Temps

This is what we woke up to this morning. You can see why schools were cancelled today. Can you believe these drifts?!?!

Wasserbahn Water Park, Williamsburg IA

So can you think of anything more fun than swimming in December when you live in the Midwest?!?! Not if you are 4 years old! My family and I went to Williamsburg, IA to visit extended family for the holidays. We visited the Amana Colonies and stayed at the Clarion Hotel which happens to have an indoor water park. The children absolutely loved it and fun was had by all. :) I adore this picture of {D}. He loved the leapfrog pads they had in one of the pools. I had to share it with you here on the blog. Enjoy and stay warm! It is a winter wonderland out there!

The changing of seasons...

is always very interesting to me. I have photographed these wind chimes...side note, I heart wind chimes......several times and was fooling around the other day on a not so warm fall day that was ushering in Old Man Winter. I fear these metal wind chimes are the only remnants left of warmer days....
