The ice is thick on everything in Northern Illinois. It is so beautiful and yet so dangerous

I got out into the yard today and took a couple quick pictures of the pine trees and evergreens

The Ice is so thick, it is weighing everything down

Yep...it is winter!

One BIG happy family. Alley, Gunner, Grace and Addison

Christmas from Around the World. Here is Grace and friend as little "China" girls.

Gunner was able to dress up and play Joseph this year!

Alley was a student, with a lot of lines to speak in the play this year. The girls were decorating a tree and mentioning how people celebrate the birth of Christ all over the world.
