A Couple of Flakes...

These two are a couple of silly flakes.

Every year when winter rolls around, we starting thinking about and looking forward to the first snow. We wonder if it will lay, how many inches we will get and how long will it last? We are a family that loves snow. Here where we live, we are not drowning in snow all winter . When we do get snow, it is a real treat. We try and enjoy every moment while it lasts.

 Several years ago, when our children were young, we started cutting snowflakes with them for decoration. We usually started them around the time we would put up the Christmas tree and they would remain on the windows until spring.

We still continue cutting the snowflakes with our granddaughter and will teach our grandson once he has mastered using scissors. We started a few nights ago working on them. Papaw always cuts the best ones but this year, Doodles really did a good job with them too. We ironed the ones we cut and put them on our windows on Saturday. We will still be adding a few small ones here and there but I think they turned out pretty perfect this year.

As you can tell from this photo, it is a rainy, snowy looking day here. Our weather man says, it will snow in the mountains and higher elevations tonight. Doodlebug is just in hopes we will have a white Christmas. I hope we see a white Christmas too.

Blessings!
