I have been totally MIA for the past few days, we've been dealing with school issues - argh. Anyway. it's so neat to see everyone so excited about the Santa sled craft. It's sure to be lots of fun. I can't wait to see all the pictures. Also, thank you to everyone who offered congratulations to Sonora for her win. I don't have the actual picture that she entered in the contest but I'm posting another drawing that she did. This is one of her favourite scenes to draw.

Oooh Betty, I'm so jealous of you going to that craft show, it sounds amazing.

Pretty soon here the elders will start setting up tables in the 'complex' (where the grocery store, post office and other services are located). I'm hoping to get Ella a pair of winter moccasins there. I'd like to make some for our whole family but it would be nice to have a pair in front of me to look off. I also don't know when I'll get around to making them and she's sort of desperate for them. Winter boots are too heavy for her to walk in but her other footwear is not snow-worthy.

Well, we woke up yesterday with everything snow-covered and it's still there. I really hope it stays. I will certainly be glad to have a break from all the mud and potholes that we've had for the past couple of months. Our road here are unpaved and they're clay. When it's dry (or frozen), they're great. When it's wet, they fall apart.

So today's our big shopping day. We usually do a huge grocery shopping trip once a month around the 15th. I'm hoping that DH will go today. I guess I better get the list ready though.
