If I didn't already have enough to do....

Before... and After
Sorry about the dark shot. McCray was my photographer, and I feel pretty lucky that I made it in there at all! It took an hour and a half to do this, and it still wasn't a great job.

The nerve! It snowed yesterday, on a weekday. That is bad for me. Kent leaves for work at 6 am and gets home at 7 pm because of overtime right now, so if it snows during the week, I am the lucky shoveler. Or unlucky shoveler, I guess. It snowed about 8 inches yesterday morning. It was a really windy, bad storm. The news said there was over 200 accidents in the valley. Unbelieveable! I got out and shoveled, and survived. BUT... I am going to keep praying for storms only on the weekends! :) ( And pining for St George and Las Vegas winters)

Our First Snowman

We had our first "good snow"- you know, the kind that actually sticks and is easy to make snowmen out of. Kent took the kids out and made a snowman, and then they had a snowball fight. They had so much fun! Unfortunately, mom had to take pictures and was unable to get all cold and wet in the snow. I did get some snow boots so I can participate next time. Yeah? Kent's parents have been here the last few days, and we have really enjoyed having them. I think we finished our Christmas shopping today. What a relief!
