Well, it's almost Christmas! We're breaking records here for snow ... we've surpassed 40 inches now. Blizzard conditions today with arctic temperatures. As if it weren't bad enough that road crews are having a hard time keeping up with the snowfall, they also can't salt or deice because the temperatures are too cold for it to work! Now we have high winds with lake effect snow, so it's blowing and drifting. We've had several huge winter storms in a row, and another predicted for Tuesday night.
We had our Christmas party (annual) last night. It was a blast! It's always so much fun to have a house full of friends. I love having all the kids around, too. I've posted some pictures of our front yard, the back yard (in the middle of the day, but the Christmas lights are on a light/dark sensor and wouldn't shut off because it was snowing so heavily it was blocking out the sun), and a picture of some of the food just before the party started. I meant to take pictures at the party, but I was having such a good time, I forgot!!
Maybe I'll have to have everyone over again so I can take pictures! Harrison and some neighborhood boys played pond hockey for several hours today. I don't know how they managed to stay out in 13 degrees with -20 windchill, but they did it. Clay stayed in with us and enjoyed the warm house! I've been heating up one of those seed filled thingees and wrapping Tiger (our old cat) up in it to help her stay warm. I'm going to try to get out tomorrow to pick up a few groceries. I also need to pick up our goose on Tuesday! I also need to enter final grades for my psychology class (one more final exam to correct) and last, but not least, I need to develop a syllabus for next semester and get it in to my supervisor!
It's actually a lot of fun to have us all home right now, kids out of school and me too, and feel snowed in. I could do this for a long time!

Had a great time at your party. I really wished we could of stayed longer and chatted. I so enjoy our conversations and hope we can do panera coffee more often. Thanks for opening your home to us again.
We had such a nice time at your party -- your home is so lovely and so warm and inviting. It's fun to re-connect with the neighbors we see there, too. And the boys, as always, had a fun time with your kids and the others in attendance.
Thank you so much for including us again.
