Snow and outtakes

What's this? Two blog posts in one day? You'd think I was trapped at home because of a blizzard or something. Oh. Right. I AM. This is what the beehives looked like this morning:

That was around 10am. There's several more inches of snow on them now and it's still coming down. We've seen many trees fall around us today. I'm hoping the ones close to the house will stay steady and strong. But, please, don't think I'm complaining. It's been a pretty fantastic day. We've spent lots of time snuggled up on the couch watching Christmas movies. We played inside and outside. And I finished up all of my gift making. This snow day was just what I needed.
And, because I have a little extra time, I'm sharing a few extra photos. We did a last-minute holiday card photo shoot last week. I thought I'd share the finished product along with a few outtakes. I love my silly family. They were so cooperative. Though, I admit, I had to bribe Walter with hot chocolate and marshmallows to get him to pose for a few pictures.
