Deeper Snow
Today was our first snow day! We have had about 35 inches of snow this season! Last night we got about 8 inches and it has snowed non stop today, adding 5-6 inches today. The kids went into the backyard to track around in the snow!

A Christmas Tradition
For as long as I can remember, my dad would put my sister and I on his shoulders and we would put the star on top of the tree. Jason and I have continued this with our kids and every year the star is put up by each one.
Sadie - she has come a long way! She is pretty scared of heights, and most years her picture is of her hanging on for dear life and crying! Looks like she is still hanging on with all her might, but we got a smile this year!
Denver's turn
Oh, I have to add... we got a fake tree this year! This is a major no-no in the Bruce household! Jason's dad has a tree farm, so our trees usually come from there, but before we lived in Tucumcari, the only option was a live tree for us!! We committed a major crime and got a fake one this year!! Mainly because next Christmas Jason most likely will be deployed, and we realized that it would be difficult for me to carry a live tree in by myself-where as this one is pretty light and easy to assemble! But we already decided, we will only use this one when he is gone, and a real one all the other years.

The community we live in on post has a sledding hill! They designed this hill for the purpose of sledding, which means that it is really smooth and you can get a pretty long run! We had a lot of fun on our first sledding adventure of the season!
The Making of a Snowman
Our first snow was Thanksgiving weekend. We had about 5-6 inches. The kids had fun making a snowman in the backyard. That snow melted...but then it all started! Since Thanksgiving, we've had about 35 inches of snow! Crazy New York weather!!
Oh Captain, My Captain
Jason was promoted yesterday to Captain! Such a sweet time of ceremony and then a reception!
The troops were brought to attention, and then the commander spoke. He then pulled Jason's LT bar off, and I put his Captain bars on. It was a special time for our family!
