Baking Gingerbread....

I spotted some of the Pilsbury Gingerbread dough in Stupidstore yesterday so I snapped some up and bought it - this time of year its a wonderful thing to keep in the fridge and bring out when the children are bored - instead of playdough they can use it to to play with and then bake and decorate the cookies and it smells so damn good in the house!!!! YUMMY!!!

I was busy talking to my Nephew on the phone while they were making the cookies so Lloyd took the pictures of them with the finished cookies and OF COURSE, men do NOT think......so he took the pictures in front of a sink of dishes......sigh........groan......so I have tried to crop them and edit them and blur the edges as best I can.......please when you take pictures try to look at what is in the background - I NOTICE what is in the background of pictures - are there houses? Rooftops??????? wires? clutter???? bags? cups?????? anything that can be moved or edited out????? MOVE or MOVE THE OBJECTS!!!! ;)

Love you Lloyd :)

Few more snow pics

They forecast rain tomorrow so the snow may all go. Lloyd and I drove over to calgary Trail today and just the other side of 50th Street - and then by Ikea on Calgary Trail, there was NO SNOW!!!!! Yet here we are with snow men not 20 minutes drive along the Henday!!! Crazy city!!!!

Fun in the snow.......

Scenes from our side woods...

winter scenes...

Waking up to a Winter Wonderland.......

We woke up to snow this morning......I took these pictures from my bedroom window.......I'm so glad Lloyd and the children have the day off of school to enjoy it. The workmen are here but they can't work on the roof doing the shingles, so are instead working on the back deck until the snow melts later in the week. Chris has to go to work this afternoon in this though - working on the acreage....brrrrrr cold!

It feels like a Sunday..all snowy and quiet and restful outside :) As much as I don't want winter, you can't deny it.....it's so very beautiful!
