Santa Suit Card and Let it Snow

Hello Everyone,

Well, if you live on the east coast you are certainly seeing some of what we are seeing here!  Two Feet of snow!  Snow is not my favorite.  It's pretty when it's falling and even more fun when it gives you a day off of work.  Today however, was our family "Kids Christmas Party".  We had to cancel until next weekend.  This is the first time we have ever canceled this party.  Usually we are all commenting on how nice the day ends up being outside.  We take family pictures outside in 40-50 degree weather and the kids end up playing outside most years since the weather is usually more mild.  This year we got the biggest snow storm.  Steve just took some shots of our backyard and front yard.  I will share them.  Just for those of you who are here for events to see how much snow we've got and it's still coming down. 

Since we have a covered front porch we have spent time outside with hot chocolate just watching the snow fall.  It was so peaceful last night at 3am.  Yes, we are night owls.  This afternoon we had much more to look at...walkers, sledders, and the little kids enjoying the big snow storm. So here are some pics...

 

Steve's Car...he thinks he's taking to work on Monday!  We will see...

Below is a Santa Suit Card.  I cased it off another demo who had made it into a bag.  I made a card instead.  Don't remember who the demo was...Cute card though.  Pretty simple to make with the Big Shot and Punches.
