We were finally getting a wonderful snowstorm! The snowflakes were huge and it was looking like a winter wonderland. Oh yes, they took down the white tent. It only took 5 days. It was gone by December 19th. I was thrilled. My parents had the best time watching them disassemble it.
The kids really enjoy the back yard. We are very lucky that we have such a nice size one too! That is Lucas laying in the center of the picture.
They had gotten some more snowball makers for Christmas and they were putting them to use. They love to build their forts.
Kate got tired of snowball making and decided to do a snow angel.
The kids had been dying for Jason to build a fire in the chiminea that we brought from El Paso. He of course built a nice hot fire!
I made some chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate and we enjoyed the day sitting around the fire. Kate said, "This is the best day EVER!"
We finished the day with Devin giving Maggie some fun exercise around the yard! We probably ended up with a good 8 -10 inches of snow at our place. It was a nice wet, heavy snow.

I have a dumb question. What's a snowmaker?
The snowball maker is that red thing you see in the picture of the boys. It's made out of plastic. You scoop up some snow and close it. When you open it you have a perfectly round snowball. The kids are so fast at it that they will have a huge pile of snowballs in minutes.
Too bad we don't get any snow here to have one of those. My daughter keeps asking when is is going to snow. I need to take her to Raton for that. I love the pictures and your stories. I'm learning something new all the time from you guys. Take care and Happy New Year!!
