changing of the seasons

Hey! Long time no post...or so it feels. We have been busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life! I finally got in the mood to take some pictures today, perhaps because we had our first snow fall! Brylee was so excited to see the snow when she woke up from nap and it has been coming down steadily all afternoon and evening. Eventhough the snow will be gone in a day or so {as they are forecasting a mid-week warm-up even perhaps 50 degrees on Thanksgiving}, we took full advantage to play in the snow and even venture out to buy our first "real" Christmas tree! I have been trying to convince Darryl since we were married to get a real Christmas tree....and well, folks...it is has finally happened! We typically put up our tree Thanksgiving weekend, but it always seems like such a hectic weekend that we voted to do it this weekend. So the tree is in our house warming up and relaxing its branches. Tomorrow we will decorate and usher in the new season!Here are some pics of ushering out the fall season and welcoming the winter season today. Fall pics courtesy of daddy's skills {he has some great picture taking skills!}.
Have a great short week everyone and a Happy Thanksgiving!

{and now to some winter pics! The first official snow of the season....}
