Let it Snow!

Merry Christmas to All....

We had a white Christmas. The four of us had our usual family time, beginning with Ariel climbing into bed with us to wake us, next checking stockings and then opening presents. We had Belgian waffles on Ariel's new waffle maker.

We missed two church serves because of the snow. So we went to sacrament service Tuesday and listened to the missionary letters sharing spiritual experiences.

The snow.....

I know it might be a little corny, but I thought it could best express the level of the situation. The picture was taken Christmas day to show that the snow is here to stay. We did scrape the walk and driveway. here are pictures of our hummingbird and the squirrel paw in the snow on the fence.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Winter Blast 2008

Roland and Ariel take Max out for a walk. They make face plants in the snow on the car and then have some regrets. Then the weather gets worse.

We are experiencing cabin fever. Ariel's last week of school was cancelled. We made a hippo out of our car.

Icicles hung from our gutters. Max and Ariel like to crunch on them.

A fun visit. Max puts up with a lot.

We are having fun feeding all kinds of birds that I don't normally see at least for long periods of time. Even a squirrel was appreciative. My favorite is of course, the hummingbirds, which I never saw in the summer. They land on our down spout near the feeder. I'm ready for a non-white Christmas so we can gather safely with family and friends.
