This is the view I worked out to today. It is from the front of our house. I loved looking out and seeing the sun peek through the clouds and sparkle on the snow. Logan is just over the hill from us and before the sun came up, I could see the lights reflecting off the clouds from the city. It was really pretty cool. We haven't gotten quite the same amount of snow that they do in South Weber, but H will have the white Christmas that she was hoping for.

This is the view that is off our deck. I love seeing the fields and farms across the river from our house. It is such a peaceful and calming sight for me.

When I drove over the river this morning a pheasant flew by and landed next to the bridge. It was huge. I just thought of how beautiful the area is that we are now living in. There is wildlife right in our backyard. I am also grateful that we found this beautiful valley and have been so blessed to move here.

I think when we put in the yard this summer we will have to put in a good sledding hill so that when the grandkids (future) come up in the winter we will have a fun place to go. There is enough room between the hill and the river so that we can tube and not end up in the river. I think it will be tons of fun. We're also going to put in a firepit like we had at our last house and that gives us a great gathering place for the summer. What fun to plan ahead. It will be alot of hardwork, but I can't wait. H has even asked if she can have a place to garden that's not in the main garden. I think we'll have plenty of room for that too. S is looking forward to having to get a riding lawnmower as the yard is twice the size we had at our last house and there are no boys living with us now to help. I think I might really enjoy that one. I had to tease him that we just might have to get a tractor. (There are these really cute little blue ones that alot of the farmers have up here. They look like Tonka toys that are blown up to real size. They are really cute. However we never would need it, but it's always fun to joke around about things like that.)

We are having a wonderful Holiday season and look forward to alot in the coming year!!
