Fall Into Winter

 

A few short days ago our grass looked like this:

Fall was definintely here but there were very few leaves on the ground.

 We got our first snow of the year a couple of days ago and with it came all the leaves off the trees. Enough to finally make a few piles for the girls to play in.

 Ava made a bed....

 While Sadie quickly destroyed her pile by throwing the leaves in the air.

Then they did it together.

 Aren't leaf piles the best part of fall? That and the colors. And the cooler weather.

I love fall!

This and That

Just a couple of random pictures from the last few weeks....

 This picture reminds me of my sister Krista....I'm 99.9% sure there is a picture somwhere of her just like this.

 I'm having anxiety about her teen years. She's such a diva.

For our family night activity tonight we roasted marshmallows around the campfire. Sadie burned her hand and had to come inside and lay down. In an effort to make her little sister feel better, Ava gathered all of Sadie's favorite horses and piled them on top of her. Then she came running into the kitchen saying "mom, you just have to take a picture of this!" And she was right. Very cute. Oh, and it did make Sadie feel better.
