Finally Our Christmas Family Dinner

The Heavens smiled upon us for one glorious Sunday afternoon, it stopped snowing and our family was able to get together for our Family Holiday Dinner. We met over at Cheryls house, everyone was there but Ryan, hopefully he will be able to make it up here after New Years. We feel so blessed to have such a loving family and fortunate that most of us live close by and we can get together often. Happy New Year Everyone!

Winter Wonderland

Just a few wintery pictures of our own winter wonderland.
These icecicles are hanging off the side of the building where I work.

I just love how these little drops of snow were lying on this branch.

Snow Snow go AWAY

Oh all this snow has put a damper on my post Christmas spirit. Ten days ago when it started snowing it was beautiful, the first snowfall is always beautiful but it has not stopped snowing in the past 10 days. Today being Saturday, we were supposed to have our big family Christmas dinner, my married girls and their husbands were going to come over, my niece Kristen flew in from Calif today but my brother Ken could not even make it the airport to pick her up, so Kimmy went and picked her up and she is spending the night at Kim's until tomorrow. Our roads are soo bad and we live on a dead end street so the snow plows do not come and plow our road..we are litearlly snowed in! To top that off, all the snow that was pileing up on the roof has fallen and blocked our front and back doors. Logan and George are going to be shoveling all day tomorrow. Below are some pictures from our Very Merry Christmas!

Let it Snow...and Snow...and Snow

It Started snowing yesterday and it snowed all night and all day today. Yes it is beautiful but the whole town shut down today, No School, No mail, and.... NO WORK!!! Yea! Our Ward Christmas party is scheduled for tomorrow ( Friday) Night and I am sure that will be cancelled as well. The kids had a nice start to their Christmas vacation because there will be no school for them until after the New Year. AAHH the joys of living in the Northwest! WE love it!

The sign says it all.

Winter Swimming

O.K. I know it's not officially winter yet but it sure feels like it, so for Family Home Evening My sister and I gathered up Logan, Kylah and Madyson and went to my cousin Lori's apartment over in Spokane. The apartment building that she lives in has this amazing big indoor heated pool and hot tub. The girls love going over there and swimming with Riley. The warm water felt so good..like taking a nice hot bath. Needless to say both girls were alseep by the time we got home.
