There is beauty all around, when there's love at home....

 I love that song and I absolutely love living here! I wanted to share just a few snapshots of some of the gorgeous nature we are blessed with on a daily basis...

Snow Day!

The kids had fun in the snow right outside our door! No more driving to the mountains to have fun in the snow, now we live in the mountains! (Barely, but it still counts!)

Tatiana, Andrew, and Ben, all bundled up...

 Nick gathering ammo for the impending snow ball fight!

 Andrew hitching a ride to the sledding hill...

 Ben heading down the hill, what an awesome shot!

 Nick taking Andrew down with him, such a nice big brother!

 Playing in a winter wonderland!

 Tatiana is picking up speed!

Private Concert at the Tolman Home!

Our dear friend, Trish Wagner, joined us for dinner one night along with Henry and Mollie Wolthuis from church. Trish and Mollie are both from Hawaii. It was a special treat to all of us to have Trish share her beautiful music with us after dinner. She plays the ukelele beautifully and has the voice of an angel! We love our "auntie Trish"!

 Andrew sharing the love with his Pineapple Princess!

Story time with big brother, Ben

I just had to include this precious moment. Ben is reading to Andrew. At this time, "Green Eggs and Ham" was the favorite of both of them! So sweet, I just love how much they love each other!

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

My parents, grandma and grandpa Dennison, came from North Dakota to visit us in our new home and have a late Christmas celebration with us. We had a lot of fun together!

 Andrew giving a tour around the property. Our house looks so tiny way back there.

 We exchanged gifts, had a nice dinner and celebrated Christmas, again! You can never have too many Christmases!

 I think grandma and grandpa really enjoyed walking around our property with the kids.

 We hope they come back soon! We love you both!

All about Tatiana

Our sweet angel, our only daughter, our amazing young lady...

Grandma Dennison gave Tatiana her very own sewing machine for Christmas. Tatiana LOVES to sew and create, she has a natural talent in this area.

 Tatiana is working on this quilt that she started with Grandma and is finishing with mom. But really Tatiana does 99% of the work.

 And what is a girl to do when she wants some down time in a house full of boys? Snuggle up with a warm blanket, look out at the amazing view, and read a good book of course!

 There is always time to play out in the snow! I just love this girl so much!

 Gorgeous view from our back yard, but an even more gorgeous daughter!

 Some Albany friends came out to spend the day with us. And of course they had to do some baking while there were together. Such good girls!

Snow fall on Comfort Lane

 Snow has fallen on Comfort Lane and it is BEAUTIFUL!

 This was our first snowfall in our new home.

 It was a little late for a white Christmas, but we enjoyed it anyhow!
