Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Waiting for Christmas

Our manger scene is set up.

We are anxiously awaiting....

....the day we can put Baby Jesus in the manger.

We will be spending 10 days in South Dakota.
We will celebrate our Christmas with family and friends and then complete the manger scene when we get back home.

"People Look East
And Sing Today;

Love, The Guest, Is On The Way."

Merry Christmas!

{this moment}

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo-no words-capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, visit Soulemama and leave and a link for your 'moment' in the comments for all the world to see.

Hope this week-end finds US ALL relaxing with a good book in our hands!

Christmas Cookies

The weather was a little cold and stormy on Sunday.........
so we made our home smell yummy.....

with the scent of "Christmas Sugar Cookie."

We know Christmas is near when we have frosted sugar cookie on our lips!!

The next day, Buttercup and Nacho made their own sugar cookie!
It was "Easy" according to them!
Have a sweet Tuesday!

Tree Farm Visit

Our few pics from our trip to the local Christmas tree farm last week-end.






Can you guess what Buttercup wants for Christmas this year?

A song that I have been pondering this week......
"People, look East and sing today,
Love, the guest is on the way."
