Walking in a winter wonderland!

Yesterday we woke up to find glittering snowflakes fluttering to the ground. And what's more, they stuck! Woo hoo!
After church, the Marshall crew ventured into the snow to find the perfect family Christmas tree. Our very own little Griswold family Christmas- we belted out Christmas carols and everything=). The snow flakes continued to fall, as we wound through slick streets, lined with icicle-laden trees. Just after we arrived at the tree farm, the snow flurries became hail-like pellets, so we chose our tree quickly. Despite our hurry, we chose a beautiful evergreen that now sits, glowing in the living room.

Aww=)



After selecting our tree, I went out with Rachel, Josh, and Josh's mom to take some Christmas pictures. We got stuck trying to ascend an icy hill, and a group of kind-hearted pedestrians helped us push our car up the slope.

Rachel and Josh had a great time frolicking in the snow!

Wow - your sis and love of her life can sure jump high! Is it just love they're high on or too much mulled wine! Seriously, LOVING these truly, classical Christmas pics of your lovely family. You must be SO loving your time with them and so excited about the approaching festivities. Thanks for sharing - absolutely magic!

My little Sophie keeps saying, 'We're having a summer Christmas, because we're on the other side of the world to Grandma and Grandad' - arrr, bless, most of the cards that land in our mail-box have snow on them and she's a tad confused! Sarah x
