Snow pictures

Here's some photo's of the white Christmas we're having. (Even though it's not Christmas yet, I doubt the snow will melt before Christmas.) This is our backyard. I know, there really isn't THAT much snow, but hey, it's still snow on Christmas.)
This is our front yard. Unfortunately the snow isn't really sticking to the tree yet, so it doesn't look very pretty. This is Zoro, my 5 1/2 pound Chihuahua who hates having his picture taken. But while I was taking the snow pics I caught him off guard, and here's what I got.

Merry Christmas!

P.S. ONLY 9 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!

Traditions

Merry (Early) Christmas!

You probably have already figured this out, but there's only 12 days until Christmas! (Not including today, the 12Th)

Here's a picture of out tree: (The tree's fake, BTW)

Sorry the lighting isn't so good, with the lights on, you can't see the lights on the tree, and with them off, it turns out like this. But I'm pretty sure you all know what a Christmas tree looks like anyway.

I've always loved decorating for Christmas. Our tradition is to do it the day after thanksgiving, so lunch isn't a worry. =) The last two years my parents have let Dane and I put lights around our rooms, and we have little 3 1/2 ft. Christmas trees too.

Here's a picture:

Again, sorry the lighting isn't very good.

I'd like to hear about you Christmas traditions!

Is anybody still around? I haven't gotten any comments lately!!!

It's okay if your all too busy or bored with my blog.

4. Have you ever held an alligator? Yes, a baby one.

5. Have you ever let a snake slither through your fingers? Well, I've held a snake, but I don't know if it slithered through my fingers or not. I was to busy trying to stop shaking, LOL!

7.What is your dream vacation? Hmm...... that's a hard one! I've always thought Australia looked pretty awesome.

10. What is your most embarrassing moment? Do I have to answer this one??? Well...it would have to be at my Uncle's wedding a few years ago, when I was running around the reception room and slipped on the wooden floor. The BANG when I landed was so loud everyone heard it and turned around to see me sprawled on the floor. EMBARRASSING!!!

I'd like to read YOUR answers to these questions! =)

I'm gonna be a CrossFit Kid!

Hey Everyone,

I'm going to become a CrossFit Kid! You probably thinking, "What in the world is a 'CrossFit Kid?" or, "Good gravy she is always doing something new!"

Well, a CrossFit Kid is a program for teens and tweens under 18, or teens who can't handle the adult program yet, which is called, you guessed it, CrossFit. It's a program for people who want to get into good physical shape. My Dad found out about it from a guy my Mom works for, and is going to do the adult program while we do the program for kids.

Here's a link for the Adult program:

http://www.crossfit.com/

And the link for the Kid's program:

http://www.crossfitkids.com/

If you visit the Adult website, you can see how vigorous the program is once you work up to that level. The kid's program looks pretty vigorous too, especially for the more advanced CrossFit Kids, who are called, Big Dawgs.

Dane and I will be called Buttercups for the first six months, (I wish that name didn't sound so wimpy) and then Puppies, The Pack, The Porch, and then Big Dawgs. That will take one to two years to accomplish.

I'm pretty excited, you should check it out!

Heading for my first CrossFit Kid workout,
