Keeping Busy

I only have a couple days left of my Christmas break (cry, pout, sigh), but so far I have really taken advantage of the time off! 

Spencer, Jack and I took a walk after the first big snowfall.

Of course, where there's snow, there's shoveling!  We inherited a snow blower at the end of the season last winter, but still pull the shovels out now and then for the exercise. 

Jack helped by eating down some of the huge snow piles on either side of the driveway.

My parents gave us some delicious frozen meats for Christmas, and it has been so much easier to plan meals with a freezer full of meat! 

 

I think on this day I was making some homemade fried chicken.  Yum!

I got a new camera for Christmas (hooray!), and Jack was lucky enough to be my model for the first few pictures.

Aren't you finished yet?

I don't think he likes being in the spotlight for too long! 

Of course, we also spent time celebrating Christmas and New Years, which you can read more about below.  For now, I'm off to get ready for a matinee showing of Avatar.  I love staying in my pajamas until noon, but I guess it's time to get dressed!  Maybe tomorrow I'll stay in my pajamas all day, just because I can!
