a little gnome fact...

...i love snow :D

Yesterday, school was finally cancelled and I got to relax, go sledding, watch tv, and throw parties! Hooray! It was best Valentine's snow ever, I believe. Mr. Porch Gnome agrees....

...and so does Mr. Pig Gnome.


...and Mikey. Well he agrees too, but he's also just too cute to not put up a picture of. :)


Mikey and Sean Mayo (who made a surprise visit) built a rather scary looking snowman out of the icy snow chunks.


Later, I looked out and saw it wasn't actually a snowman at all, but the Empire State Building. Why, of course?


But speaking of outside, goodness was it beautiful! An ice storm came in right after the snow storm so everything was shiny and glittering in the sun.







Lord, I can't even imagine what other beautiful things you have waiting for us in heaven! Wow! Thank you for showing us some of your wonder in your creation. You are so great.

Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,
a great king over all the earth.
-Psalm 47: 1-2

The moment you've waited for...

Soooo, what was the beeping?
Christmas day Mikey opened the gift aaaand....

it waaaas...

a whistle key finder? what about a "while your talking or stretching or living" key finder? because that's about how much it beeped. No whistle necessary.

Anyways, meanwhile...

I received this guy's album from Dollar Ocean. Score! My brother got it for me! Buccaneer, baby! So anyways, Christmas night I had a special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer party :) It went splendidly.


(Danny sporting his new cell phone. Well, mostly new. Either way, it can take pictures and text and whatever like the rest of the real world. Sheesh finally.)


And then today. The day after Christmas - or more commonly known as Mr. Crumbly's birthday. :)

Isn't he just so huggable? Gosh, I love him. :) Anyways, today was beautiful just for him. Take a look at this sunset. Woooow.







Just think, God makes all these sunsets. He decides how each of them is going to look and which colors to mix together and how they're going to glow and fade. They all came from HIS head. I can't wait to meet my God!!!
