December 2010

Hello one and all...This is my very {FIRST} attempt at 'blogging'--so be patient, I'm learning as I go!!

...I can't believe it is ALREADY December! Maybe I'm feeling ambitious, but, I was going to buy Lola one of those advent calendars with little numbered boxes, each containing a stale piece of chocolate...but instead I decided to do a Christmas Countown via Photos!! Hope you enjoy:)

...Happy Blizzard 2010!!!!

{According to kstp.com} By the numbers: Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport picked up 17.1" of snow. {2010} (the year Annabelle and Lincoln were born!) That's the 5th biggest official snow total on record, and it's also the most snow in a storm since the Halloween Blizzard of 1991.  (the year James was born!) We were only 3-tenths of an inch away from tying the number 4 spot: January 21-22, 1982. (the year i was born!)
How we spent BLIZZARD 2010 :
  • Jake and Lola went down to Rochester this weekend to help Jake's brother Ryan with his snowplow business.  They were STRANDED in Roch.
  • I worked ALL weekend at the View, and was STRANDED in uptown.
  • Auntie Abby and Lola kept themselves busy while the boys cleared snow by doing HOLIDAY Arts & Crafts
  • I kept myself busy (&warm), while off the clock, by drinking lots of RED WINE
  • Jake came to pick me up from work FINALLY on sunday and got STUCK on unplowed side streets (a half hour trip turned into 2 hours!!)
  • We all made it home sunday night.  So WONDERFUL to be {HOME sweet HOME!!}
  • Abby and Lola's Snowman
    (since the snow was to 'crunchy' they made this!)
    I finally got my Holiday Wreath!
My Backyard!!
AFTER the boys got busy!!
