We got Snow!!!!!

We woke up this morning and saw 2 inches of snow on the ground. so we just had to go out and play in it. we could only go out for a little while, cause it was cold and jessi and justin were sick. but we had a lot of fun.

Just us

Justin's little tiny snowman and the snow he kept eating.

he had to swing and slide down his slide.

litterlly he kept eating the snow and saying "YUM SNOW".

We finally got a christmas tree. Ok, ok, its a fake one, but we have been trying to get a fake one for quite some time. we're not home enough during the holidays to enjoy the real one and we're always afraid that it will cantch on fire from some random spark blaze the tree and burn down the house.(ok that was a little graphic, but its true.) so impart we decided to go with the fake and well we found a good one. we really like it. the really good thing is we won't have to worry about all th needles. the bad is we miss the good smell a real on brings into the home. Justin had a lot of fun decorating the tree and then we put lights up in his room, which he loves. we put lights up on the roof friday, and found that after we put them up, half were dead, and we ran short. so we fixed the dead on, except for a tiny section. Then left the section bare where we ran short (lack of funds) so our house looks a little redneck, but not too redneck. we'll have to take a picture and put it up on the blog.

Friday night we we're watching the news and founds out that the zoo was having a free admission day on saturday. so we jumped all over that. they had just added some giraffes and lions to the zoo, so it mad it a lot more fun. Justin has been fascinated by both for some time now and really liked watching them. this was probably the best experiance to the zoo we have had here.
