Snow Day!!

Ok, the boys only went to school 1 day last week! This picture is Friday, December 19th, 2008 - late morning. Supposed to "garbage day" - not gonna' happen.

About 24* - we were waiting for the actual storm to arrive!! Kooper and I went sledding down the hill just beyond the horizon in this picture. We had so much fun!!

We are grateful for our warm home, full pantry, and stocked bar.... oh - and of course COFFEE! And if memory serves me correctly - thank God we are not moving this time!! Love you Dad & Uncle Bob!! heehee

This is the snow drift outside our front door! 3 feet!!

I checked this 1 hour after taking the photo and it was 1 foot higher and freezing rain is on the way.... as I sit in my family room writing this I can hear the pelt of freezing rain hitting the window and the wind is breathtakingly loud and powerful!

We went to the grocery store today and had a blast! It was TOTALLY PACKED! So funny to watch the people "stock-up" as if we have never had a winter before. we really didn't need anything but decided to get in some entertainment. And Kevin loves to drive in the snow - the boys kept asking him to take the Yukon out of 4weel drive so we could fish-tail! So AWESOME!

This weather and the 2 feet of snow in Walla Walla has made us decide to stay home for Christmas... It was weird to pick-up a turkey and ingredients for our Christmas dinner... But we are lovingly enjoying making an effort to create a new picture of "Christmas Traditions". Ahhhh to heck with that - we just hope the gravy turns out good and the turkey isn't dry! Just kidding... we really are putting a lot effort into creating a nice "stay at home" Christmas.

Today was my first day off in oh so many days... and yes the phone still rang and deals were negotiated during a blizzard! "Whatever"... Those excuses in mind - I'll do my best to get those Christmas cookies delivered! (no eye rolls please) hahaha....

In The Beginning

Shoe shopping torture!

In the beginning there were few words and even less pictures. But as the blogglets continued to grow in technical strength and internet savvy... the Blog Kingdom began to grow.... Will time keep them away? Maybe this will be too much fun.... ~Heather~
