It's a Blizzard!

Well, of course I am falling behind, but feel compelled to make a post tonight. We got one of the worst snowstorms we have seen in years yesterday and today....and we might get even more tonight. Neither of us went in to work today, and even the courthouse closed down, along with many other local businesses. We have probably at least a foot of snow, with some drifts much bigger than that. I will post a few pics once it's safe to take my camera outside!

Not much else happening....just the hustle and bustle of the holidays and getting ready for all the family Christmases. We started a new tradition this year - Alvin - our Elf on the Shelf. Each night he goes to the North Pole to tell Santa if the kids have been good or bad that day, and when he comes back the next morning, he is sitting in a new spot, somewhere around the house. We have to remind Blake several times a day that Alvin is watching him!

Well...today Blake peed his pants at daycare. Mary said he tried to get to the bathroom, but didn't get there on time. When I asked him why he was holding it, his reply was, "Because we were playing house and I didn't want to miss Christmas." How do you get mad at that!?! I kept my face stern though. :-)

Thanksgiving came and went. We had a busy one with 3 dinners and a wedding reception over the long weekend. It was good to see all the family.
