This past Sunday, due to the weather, our church services were canceled. Briana, having extra time on her hands, decided to peruse through my recipes. She found a recipe for <a href="http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/amish-raisin-cookies">Amish Raisin Cookies</a>, and she made cookies from scratch for the first time. She did a great job and the recipe is a keeper! <br />

It has been wonderful to have two extra days to spend at home around the fire!<br />
<br />
According to the weather forecast, our beautiful snow will undoubtedly be gone by the weekend. So I braved the cold and ventured out to take a few more pictures before the thaw! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today we enjoyed a family day at home due to the winter storm that brought at least ten inches of fresh snow. It was a beautiful, snowy day with the temperature hovering between 32 and 34 degrees. We spent several hours outside this afternoon taking pictures, building a snowman, building snow forts, throwing snowballs, and shoveling sidewalks. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow is supposed to bring temperatures so frigid that it will be impossible to go out and play in the snow! They are forecasting a high of -11 degrees and a lo of -17 degrees with a windchill of -39 degrees to -44 degrees. Yikes! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tonight I spent time figuring out how to blog pictures after being unable to blog them through Picasa as I had done in the past. Yeah! Between my husband and myself, we got it figured out! Enjoy!</span></div>

Well, I made it through, but not without repercussions. I now have bronchitis and possibly some pneumonia brewing in my lungs as well. I am on a powerful antibiotic in hopes of recovering quickly. So hopefully before too long life will be back to a normal routine.<br />

She had four entries: music theory, harp sight reading, harp solo, and harp quartet. She made a 100% on her theory test and received a super superior rating(purple ribbon). She received a superior rating(blue ribbon) in each of the other three entries. Because the harp quartet received a superior rating, they were invited to come play in an Ensemble Concert on Sunday. Below are a few pictures from the Ensemble Concert. <br />
