Christmas week!

Darryl, Melissa, the girls and Grampa arrived
Wed. the 24th. Grandma came the week
before (the day we got our power back.)
The kids got out of the van and wanted to head
right outside to play in the snow. We geared them
up and off they went. Melina and Jenna were
really excited to play in the snow.



Mr. Snowman
(he was completely melted the next day)

A long walk thru the woods - we had to
go check out the frog pond. Looks a bit
different in December than in July when
the girls come and stay for 2 weeks.

Found Garrets cabin that he and Corey are
making in the woods - pretty neat!


They played for a long time down by the stream.
making bridges with the snow.


The snow haulers.



working hard.




Melina and Jenna were amazed by all the snow,
it was so fun to watch the 4 kids have an absolute
blast together in the snow for hours - they couldn't
get enough of it!





Christmas morning.





The hunt is on!



Searching high and low for presents!




Relaxing by the fire.

Just a quick Hello...

Wow, what a week!!!!
Last Thursday night because of the ice storm
we lost our power, well I am writing a week later
Thursday morning 11am we just got our power back!
This is going to sound a bit crazy, but I can not wait to
do laundry, vacuum the house, cook with an oven, etc, etc....
Well I have a million things to do so I will hopefully
do a better post when things get caught up - might be a while!
