December Daily - Frosty

December 6

I think Canada opened her doors.  The cold air rushed down.  My little charge this morning came all bundled up.  We spent some time drawing snowmen and watched just a bit of Frosty the Snowman before we bundled up to walk to school.  

December Daily - Snowmen in the Moonlight

December 5

We got what I call a "dusting of snow".  I can just hear my family in Colorado laughing. However when we were out and about yesterday evening, we saw these 2 snowmen in a parking lot.  We were amazed there was enough snow to even make snowmen.  Someone must of collected every bit of snow in the parking lot. We lit them up with our headlights so it wasn't really snowmen in the moonlight.

The picture above is of the dusting of snow on the playground behind our house.

December Daily - Caching the Last of Fall

December 4

With snow predicted in the near future, we decided to get one last geocache.  One of the things, I enjoy most about Bellingham is all the trails. We parked and walked down the path to get this geocache. It was not looking a lot like Christmas but a lot like fall. This was a good way to stretch our legs.

December Daily - 3 Wise Men

DECEMBER 3

We completed our outside lights.  It was the first time for the boys to be on the ladders.  My husband had knee surgery so no climbing for him.  Luckily a  couple years back, my husband had put permanent clips for the lights.  It is incredible how easy that makes it. I even took a turn on the ladder. I splurged and got some snowflake projectors to add to our display so it looks like snowflakes falling on our house. Keeping our fingers crossed we don't get any of the real white stuff.  We may not have snow but we are going to have flakes.

December Daily - December 2

My friend made me take a hike on the wild side.  We saw lots of stuffed animals.

We ventured down to Cabelas to pick up an item.  We joked that this was our exercise hike for the day. We made several stops to get in some Christmas shopping. There is never a dull moment with the two us and today was no exception.. Mrs Epi managed to get complimented on her eyes and hair.

December Daily - Dec 1st

I thought I would participate in December Daily. It helps me to be in the season.

DECEMBER 1st

Today found me doing some before school care.  I had pulled out some of my decorations and found a Lego Christmas Tree that went nicely with the reindeer that my young charge had made earlier in the week. My older my older son contributed a Santa Mini figure. A sled was made to attach to our reindeer. Our Christmas scene was complete.

I also got to go to the Princess of Quite A Lot's dance recital. I am always amazed by these young dancers.  The Princess of Quite A Lot did awesome as the inn keeper's wife.  This program always puts me in the Christmas mood.  I love the little dancers and this year the littlest dancers - The sheep did not disappoint.
