Change of plans-TWICE

On Saturday, we had planned to go Christmas shopping at a town about an hour or so east of us. We, meaning me, Tuks, my sister and her daughter N, and my niece M. We planned this months ago, but our plan was canceled due to the snowstorm coming in. So instead Tuks and I ran out and bought our tree. We picked it out in 15 minutes, or maybe even less because there was a fierce wind out of the north and it was blowing snow. It isn't a perfect tree, but perfect for us. As of now, it is in the stand with several strands of lights on. I will leave it this way until I can buy more lights and I want to test drive it with my child and cat since last years was a small fake tree.

Then today after playing and shoveling in the snow, Tuks and I attempted to get out of our 150 meters long driveway to go to church. Couldn't do it. My brother informed me 11 inches had fallen last night. So, thank goodness we were able to back up towards the garage without getting stuck again. So now we are home for the day, again!! Maybe I will work on decorating the house. Then again, maybe not.

Hopefully the plow will come through later today so that we can get out for work tomorrow morning.


Kind of, sort of, attempting a snow man. She wasn't quite into it. She didn't like the snow suit, mittens and heavy duty boots, and walking in the deep snow. She wasn't walking last year so she had no idea what being "in" it was like.


Packing the snow.


Pleading with her eyes.."let's go inside" Her word for "snow" sounds just like "no" because she does not have the "s" sound down yet.


This is her response when I asked her if she wants to go in the house.
