Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Christmas! We've been eating, playing games, and watching movies with Grandma and Grandpa. The eating part has got to decrease! Our front porch roof is so laden with snow ... today it started to melt a little and we got an ice jam and it has started dripping through the roof of the porch, onto the front porch. We're hoping it doesn't seep through to the house. We tried creating a crevice through the ice and snow on the roof by leaning out the boy's bedroom windows, so that the water could flow off the roof. We also scraped a little of the snow and ice off, but we'd need 20 foot arms to make a dent in it. We're hoping the warmer weataher and melting will help take care of this problem! The forecast calls for 39 tomorrow and 48 on Saturday. My sister's garbage disposal broke twice today (after a $170 repair earlier this week) and flooded the kitchen at her house. So I guess it's been a watery Christmas for our whole family!

Oh no!

We have a long ice shovel to pull the snow off the roof if you want to use it.

It sounds like you had a lovely Christmas (other than the water issues). Merry Christmas!

Going shopping today? ;)
