Fall is over for us

I love fall but I am so excited and looking forward to winter this year. I think all the snow is so pretty and I just can't wait for it to come. Our first arctic storm is suppose to hit this weekend and I can't wait for it to look like Christmas outside. I think I am more excited this year because I know that if I don't want to I don't have to drive in it. With the closing of fall I took the girls outside for some last pictures in the leaves. Out of about 30-35 pictures I think only three turned out where they were both looking at the camera. Two of them I used for Christmas cards this year so I will not be posting them on my blog.
This was one of my favorite poses but not one of the ones I took were they both smiling or looking at the camera. I am so enjoying them being older and listen to me when I say sit like this or look this way. They are still kids so it takes a bunch of pictures to just get a few but they are getting better.I love the look of leaves on the ground but all the hard work to clean them up is a little depressing. The girls look so grown up and so much like sisters and yes they are being good sisters now but they fight like the best of them now too. We have moved into the "she's touching me" and the also favorite "she's looking at me" stage. There are the sweet moments of Natalie going up to Kate when she is crying and saying "it's OK honey we will find your leapster together". That gives me hope that they will grow up to be close friends.I love the look of the snow on the mountain. This is an OK picture but the ones in the early morning with the sun hitting it just right are beautiful. I love living up here and now that I am settling in and getting used to it I am feeling comfortable and at home...it is so nice.

i love the pictures and the girls are so dang cute. It does look beautiful up there I don't think I would mind that too much either. I do have to say I love "she is looking at me" phase, so awesome haha.
