Just Look at it Now!

Do you remember the picture I posted on Friday of our picnic table? Well, just look at it now - can you believe all that snow?

The Need for 4 Wheel Drive

For those of you who don't live in a northern state like ours, I hope these pictures explain why we sometimes need gas guzzling, large, 4 wheel drive vehicles!
This is just the snow from around 3:00 this morning. I'm not really looking forward to going to work today but.... guess I'll just put it in 4 wheel drive and go slow.

Oh FYI - it is a snow day!

Is is April 1?

I need to do a double take at my calendar. I thought there was an April Fools Day joke done to me, but no we have had the first day of spring according to the calendar but outside - this is what I see!

Yes, that would be 11 inches of freshly fallen snow on my picnic table!
Earlier in the day, we had yellow looking grass on our lawn. What is going on here?






This would be the snow hanging from my roof.
I guess I'm hiding Easter eggs inside my house today because otherwise we might lose
Shaeyn in the drifts!

winter in Michigan!!!

A busy weekend!

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day. It ended up not snowing so we went to Dave's sister for dinner. Then we headed back to our house for supper with my family. We enjoyed playing games and supper together.

Cheri and Ann playing a game of Skip Bo.














Katelyn, Chelsea and Nick enjoying supper on Thanksgiving. We always have leftover turkey on buns. Yummy!!

















Our tradition is to put the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. Dave ended up having to work, so he wasn't able to help. But we managed to do it ourselves.


Shaelyn getting in some play time before working on the tree.














The snow was beautiful while we were putting up the tree. I love it when it snows while we are putting up the tree. It really helps you to get into the Christmas spirit.

















Hanging up the stockings.

















Katelyn and Chelsea working on the lights.



















Shaelyn working hard.

















It's finally done.















The girls with the finished tree!
















This is what a cat looks like when it's stuck in a Christmas tree.
