Huck's 1st Birthday~Chris & Todd invited us to join them...
And Huck...enjoyed it all!

Mmmmmmm!

Crisp December Morning!

Dawn!...Frosty morning walk...
Beautiful...

Foggy Morning...

Takes my breathe away!

Creativity!

For years, this metal star has hung above the mantle...in my parent's home...

This year...memories flood my thoughts...

Mom spent many hours...

Cutting the metal...winding...curling...creating...

beauty!!!Amazing...

Clouds...Again...

I love the morning view of the mountain...as clouds dress it's majesty... And the sky is full....
With...pictures...this...a cloud ribbon.... Will wonders never cease...

1st's

First look at the morning...waning moon...Huck's first hair trim....by Aunt Tara...
His first b'day gift...early...from Uncle TJ...
And 1st pair of walking shoes...
Delightful!!!!

Cupboard Exploration...

First...the kettle lid cupboard...

Next...the bowl, storage container cupboard...
Aaaahah!...finally....the toy cupboard...

Seems like...the first 2 were the most fun!!!!

Go figure!

We've begun...

Christmas cookies...The Pfeffernussee is...aging...
The Dutch Santa Claus's are...chilling... Mom is...chopping...

The Lebkuchen is...baking...

As Mom is...crocheting...

And then...the Lebkuchen is...done!.....

One down...delightful!!

Brrrrrrrr.....

The temperatures are in the 20's...as the morning dawns...But Mom & I are snuggled in...crafting...creating...
Christmas surprises....and enjoying one another...

Watching Mountain Hood stand majestically in the cold....

While we appreciate good insulation...electricity...wood...warmth!

Clouds....

I love the mornings...when clouds scatter in the sky... Adding texture...contrast...
And...pictures...
They create a dazzling frame...for the sun...

And add...delightful beauty to the heavens...

Wherever I turn...something new...

And unique...

And delicious....

Like...life!

Chilly....

Foggy, frosty morning...Dazzling sunrise...
We are blessed to be...above!
