What to do during a blizzard...

Stay snuggly inside and make fun treats for your friends and neighbors!

Then go out and play in the snow!

The Chinese Champions...my friends

I have had the pleasure of learning with some remarkable people this semester.  This wonderful group of Olympic champions came to our campus to learn and share with us.  So every Friday, we have discussed (through an interpreter) the qualities and skills of coaches.  I have learned much from these thoughtful and caring individuals.  I am sad to see them go, but will never forget them.

Thursday Fun!

I spent my free night this Thursday enjoying the snow and then doing some reading at our great library.  They even have a castle!  I love Thursday nights!

Our new holiday friend

Enough said.

The tree! (again...)

Okay, so it took us two days to get this things dressed up, but maybe it didn't even need any dressing.  It's a great tree and now it has a few ornaments too...

Our cat is nuts...

As we were decorating for Christmas, we had this little decorative element sitting on the floor.  As you can see, our cat has fallen in love with it...he is so weird (but we sure love him)!

The tree!

We feel so lucky to live where we do...one of the many benefits is that to get our Christmas tree all we have to do is to go down the street to the neighbors house.  There we find a field full of beautiful trees, a saw, an empty can for our money, and cookies to nourish us in the process!

 

The cat was anxiously awaiting the tree...
