advent day five: giving tree

my knight in thermal armor!

sebastian is the man about the house this week.

he woke up early to clear the driveway from 

another snowstorm

that made it's way across colorado last night.

we have already exceeded the total snowfall of winter 2010!!

the skies cleared later in the morning and melting is underway.

how beautiful are icicles!

let's catch up with nicole and max.

they have a fascinating photo blog documenting

their german adventure:

advent:

there is a giving tree at our church.

gabrielle especially looks forward to this opportunity to give, each year.

she had to wait her turn to pick a gift to be bought, wrapped, returned

and then delivered to a secret-someone-special on christmas morning.
