Very first snow of 2012...we got less than an inch but the kids were so excited to see the "white stuff", they wanted to go sledding anyway:)
Mom, Shannon, the kids, and I had lunch at the highschool FFA's appreciation luncheon and then went to see the ISU Men's Accapella group, Just Shy of a Dozen, in the new auditorium. I felt like I was in "Glee"! You know they were good when its over and Carter stands up and says, "I want to be like them one day:)"
Winter Bucket List #1...Check. Nevada Public Library Christmas Event. And look who we ran into, but our good friends Amber and Cayden.
Look who we got to listen to a story from:)
Lanie joined girl scouts this year and got to go caroling at the Long Term Care, something I used to do when I was a little girl. There were some very nice middle school girls that helped Lanie with the words and quickly became her mentors:)
Mom, Shannon, the kids and I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon together trying to squeeze in more Winter bucket list ideas, some happened, others didn't. We took the kids to Bass Pro Shops, hoping to get to see Santa and get some new ideas for Christmas gifts. The wait to see Santa was over 3 hours long, so unfortunately that DID NOT happen. The kids DID get to ride on a carousel, play games, pet a stuffed reindeer, make crafts, climb around on the boats and other outdoor toys, and walk around the store. Lastly, we went back to Grandma's to decorate sugar cookies. They worked really hard and were super proud of their creations.

| First School Snow Day in 2 years. Lanie is with Kaelan and Kaleigh and is holding her "Flat Lanie" for an assignment for school. One of the best things about Iowa... is neighbors' snow-covered backyard hills:) |
