This is the deer in our backyard. Aydan, they are right out our window!

I thought that I would add some more pics since I am up! We are looking forward to the 'heat wave' we are supposed to get this weekend. For those of you who don't know, we have been below zero for a few weeks!! We will warm up to the balmy 30's!!!!!!!!!! Now that is warmth!!
