Snow and More Snow








Well, we definitely have snow! Our trip to TN and home from TN centered around much drama with snow. They were calling for snow before we left, so we packed up early and got a hotel so as not to miss our plane. Then on the way home, our plane was canceled due to Seattle being shut down as well as Victoria. I do have to say if it weren't for Shonda's computer skills we would be stuck in an airport over Christmas. We were re-routed a day later to Vegas where we had to spend the night and then finally arrived home. Just in time for more snow! Coming home was much anticipated to only find our cars literally buried in snow (we could not get out - snow on both sides, front and back of the vehicles). The driveway that we share with the neighbors remained buried in snow with not even a path to our house. Shane and Conor spent the night digging us out only to get another foot of snow - to dig us out again. We woke Christmas morning to another foot of snow (we are not digging out today). Snow or no snow we are so glad to be home. Conor woke up Christmas Eve Day and came down in his snow clothes. He ate breakfast in his ski pants and boots and was outside for the day sledding down some great hills. The snow is absolutely beautiful and it is extremely nice to have a "Very" White Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!

Well, hello here from TN. We miss you all! We enjoyed seeing all of you - the time just went by too quickly! The snow is beautiful. Little M here is jealous of the snow. She wants to make a snow man so badly. We'd love to have some snow...although NOT that much...can you imagine how TN would shut down with that much snow...LOL. We love you all and are so thankful for the time we had with you while you were here. Love, T, S, M & Z

Oh WoW!! So glad you experienced a white Christmas...it's almost 70 degrees here (I don't like that at all!). We missed seeing you guys while you were in. Maybe we can head up your way soon...we'll wait until the summer weather though!
