Christmas 2009

This the day after Christmas and all through the house, things are quiet again and getting cleaned up and I finally have time to upload and down load pictures....5 kids and 4 dogs made for an interesting day. Jenna and Cayla and Poncho stayed over night on Christmas Eve. Miles and Keenan and Keenan's dog Maggie came over on Christmas day to enjoy a lasagna dinner with us.








Merry Christmas to all.

Winter Finally

This has to be the largest one time snowfall that I've ever seen. It's taken us 2 days to dig out. It snowed for over 24 hours. We got about 24 inches. And now it's warming up during the day to help with the melting, then it's dropping down below freezing over night so it's turning to ice.



I must say that the snow really is pretty. We did get my car dug out today and decided to go for a drive. Actually the Wine Warehouse sent out an email saying that they were opened and the parking lot was cleared. I thought it would be fun to go.



Well, there are tons of others out on the roads and for the most part our road seems to be in the best condition. Most of the roads are not completely cleared and people with out front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive are getting stuck, blocking traffic or causing accidents. We just looped around and came back home. After all our supply of wine and beer is still plentiful. (at least for a couple more days).



I must say that despite the bad weather I feel ready for Christmas. Except for the dinner menu. I think that we have decided on Lasagna and Seafood Risotto. But, they are calling for more bad weather on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Hohoho...'tis the season. Merry Christmas!
