More Angels Forecasted




One white Christmas, coming up.

"It doesn't show signs of stopping..."



Our drive to the Norwich Football match today
(yes, we are THAT stupid. it may look warm and cozy, but it was -5c)

We won 3-0 though. Definitely worth the frostbitten toes.


"Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..."

Our weather forecast says SNOW for the next five days!!



I am NOT complaining (despite the fact that the bike is still not in our possession, I believe in miracles).
We have wood, we have food and the hubby is on leave. There's four very excited kids --one is a toddler who has never really experienced this before.
Perfect.


The first snowy morning at 6.45 am, Miss Ky and Mr. A2 couldn't wait another moment. On went the wellies and out they went. Those red lips are from all the snow they were eating. Yes, Miss Ky IS in a summer nightgown. with wellington boots. and a cardigan sweater.


We have discovered something very important... the girl doesn't seem to be wired for pain. The other kid came in crying because his feet got so cold, but we had to physically pull her in with her hands glowing red and her legs like Popsicles and she never even noticed there was a problem...



This one managed to find a village snowball fight.


our back garden this morning from Miss Ky's window


Our back garden after the first four inches fell. Two days ago
My camera lens cap is out there somewhere...

it's still snowing.


Sometime around bedtime yesterday, when the snow was still falling and the garden was enveloped in darkness, Her Highness informs us that we "hafta go find (her) money".
It was in the tea kettle she was holding when she made a snow angel. The sad thing is, this girl is a klepto. No telling whose money it was or how much.

One kettle of British coins, could be several pounds

Pint-sized snow angel? Priceless.

You can't buy that with MasterCard.






In case we lose power again or better yet, I get too caught up in the Norman Rockwell-ness of it all,
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy (belated) Hanukkah, joyous Kwanzaa, etc...
Celebrate!

  2. It is gorgeous. Had a little snow in Michigan today, but no child here to enjoy it (oddly, my elderly onlaws didn't run outside to play on it!)
    Merry Christmas

  5. What a fantastic photo montage! I'm so JEALOUS!!!

    That no pain thing? It might just be the age. When Mae and Oliver were two and three, we took them to the beach for the first time. In Florida, in December. The water was COLD. Their lips were bright blue but we couldn't pry them away. That changed as they got older.

  10. Those pictures are just gorgeous! And your children are so beautiful! It is so N Rockwell-ish. :)

    I do believe you have more snow than we do here in WI. Much more, actually. Crazy, huh?

  11. Wonderful photos! I hope that your snow last until Christmas, if that is what you want. Strangely we haven't had any snow here.

    Merry Christmas!
