Tree and snow

 What a busy and fun weekend.  The girls came up Saturday morning and went right to work decorating the tree, in spurts, 
they'd put up a few ornaments and then run outside to play in the snow.  What snow they had at home was covered in ice, so they were really happy we had some. 
Papa said he learned a valuable lesson about snowball fights with the Gourde girls-run!
They are crazy good at throwing and they throw hard. 

He was outnumbered and getting punished on a regular basis, while Lucy watched from the arbor.  They took him out to play I don't know how many times, even after dark.  This morning after Papa got cold and went inside, they stood out on the deck, entertaining themselves by chucking snowballs up on the roof.

We made sugar cookies yesterday, too

and they started filling Christmas mugs with greens and decorations.  They finished them up today, taking them home for Mom, their teacher, the school nurse and others.

Their snowman from last night, and Harper-who needs a coat?

Rielee came over this afternoon and they played in the tiny
bit of snow and ice that was left.  Then we played a bunch of games of UNO, Ava and I won the championship of the whole world..
