Brrrrrr!
The last couple days here have been so cold! This morning it was -25 C outside, which is about -10 F. It’s not so bad if we bundle up and if there isn’t any wind. There’s nothing quite like having your nose hairs freeze as soon as you walk outside. This is what I looked like today :
everything was warm except my face 🙂
Some ice crystals have started forming on our windows. It’s so cool to see them up close and look at all their little details.
Here are some videos of Violet for her fan club:
O Happy Day!
Hi everyone,
Today we got not one, but two! packages in the mail. What an awesome surprise. Don’t worry, we are saving the gifts for Christmas but we had to take a quick peek. =) Thanks sooo much to Pam & Lloyd and the folks from EBC! We love you, it was such a great encouragement to get these today.
This is all mine!
Turkey Party!
On Saturday we had a party with our Russian friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. We were able to find two small turkeys, and of course, we had all the fixin’s to go with it. After eating we played a wild game of spoons, it was a great time! Here are some pictures,
