It's snowing

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."
So incase you haven't been following my pictures on facebook I have put some on my blog.
This is what it looks like outside out home today. We haven't cleared our driveway because our car is sick. We think that it has a bad alternator but we will probably only find out on Thursday. Then I will no longer be house bound.

Here is a pic from the carriage ride that we took recently. We went for a tour of old homes of Weston. It was nice to look inside the old homes. Some were remodelled and look all modern. Some tried to stick with designs that were more true to the age when the home was built. For example one home that we visited had a kitchen that had a floor and walls of exposed red brick. It look pretty cool, but kinda cold for the winter. It also had an open hearth that you could just walk into. You could roast a pig in there probably (a small pig maybe a pig let).

Here is a picture of some cookies that the local catholic youth baked as a fundraiser. They were delicious (I suspect that there were some moms and grandmas lending a hand). We picked an assortment of cookies and treats for $5/lb. They were delicious.

And here is the picture of our town all dolled up for the coming of Christ (or seasonal tourists).

This is probably the only Christmas decorations we will do this year. It seems kinda pointless to me to put up a tree if we aren't gonna be home for most of Christmas or on Christmas day. We did decorate it with ornaments that James has collected over the years.


Here is picture we took while we were at Hubii's sister's place in Iowa. Her husband is showing everyone how he practices putting the baby in the car seat and buckling her in (he is practicing with a doll).

At college the Math club had a ginger bread house decorating contest. But they made it with gingerbread trains. And no one actually made a train.
There were three groups of students two of the groups made one entry each, the third group weren't really a group and submitted individual entries.



This group's entry came with a story about ants, human, aliens, and the fourth dimension.

This one collapsed shortly after the picture was taken

A jack of hearts



And the winner is....
Moustach man!

Just so you know this gingerbread is really bad. We hope that everyone is having a good time. It's really cold here (as you can tell from the snow). I will be doing my GRE soon and hope to apply to a couple of Uni's here for grad school. Hopefully I can get it all completed soon.
James will be done with school soon. His last class is today and next week is exam week. Then his break will be done and he can get some house work done ;)
I hope everyone takes this Christmas time to relax (easy for the housewife to say) and reflect on all the great gifts that we have received over this year.

Merry Christmas!!
