{The Party}

The day of Ruth's party started off with a new blanket of white and gusts that made the falling snow come at you sideways. All the news reports said to "stay inside" so of course none of the guests, with the exception of my Uncle (who lives in on the property), came. I even braved the snow to go and get our mail yesterday morning and it was fine, a little slick but if you knew what you were doing you could make it.

Needless to say it was a small gathering. Ruth was a bit disappointed that no one showed up, but we made the best of it. We made crowns, decorated cookies & had cake and of course Ruth opened her presents. Below are some captures during the day. (can you see the squirrel in the tree & the swirling snow?)

Enjoy!

(yes the boys are all bald & so is William too. Of course this time I trimmed up Ruth's hair because she didn't like how it was falling into her eyes)

on a side note I was up all night with Ruth who now is all congested and feeling icky from the weather change. AND to top it off now I am coming down with something too. What a great day to end the year! lol
