Thanksgiving snow is pretty unusual in this area, but John is in his element. For me, I stay inside and just come out to take pictures, but it sure is fun to watch them having fun. 
Working hard on the first snowmen of the year.
I can hardly believe it, either, but Joran was pushing this snowball around on his own. It got even bigger and started to roll down the hill towards the house before he stopped it!
Of course, Joran wanted an alien-like snowman. He said the twisted willow branch was the snowman's pee-pee. He's 5 1/2 and fascinated with all types of potty talk.
Snowball at mommy!
Now for a real fight!
A couple of hummingbirds are sticking around for the food we leave, making sure it's thawed for them each morning. I see them more now in the snow than in the summer, when there is so much more food around. Now, they only have one place to go.
Potty training -- I know it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving or snow, but it's notable, and a cute picture! Jasmijn runs around naked most of the time, sometimes with a shirt, sometimes with just shoes. She loves all of her various shoes -- girl after my own heart!We are thankful for:
snow
our beautiful, warm house
a gas fireplace and a wood-burning stove
dinner
lots of indoor entertainment
a passionate, creative family that laughs a lot
friends
the telephone
the newpaper and all the ads
a bouquet of flowers
the internet
water
brisk, pine-scented air
our rooster
Facebook (where you can see more pics)
everything, everything, everything!
Love,
Jolene =)
