Mike & Heather and Family

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight

The shoveling started yesterday afternoon.  Luckily it was somewhat light and powdery so each lift of 2+ feet wasn’t too heavy.  I’m sure we’ll be feeling it today though.  Neighborhood roads aren’t going to begin to be plowed until major roads are cleared which isn’t scheduled to be completed until Monday around midnight.  There’s another snow headed in Tuesday/Wednesday.  We need to get to the airport today.  Could be a problem.

We have a huge snow storm again.  Church was canceled by email on Thursday evening.  That’s how big this is supposed to be.  My view from the kitchen window. Notice the little bird in the top left corner who isn’t sure where to go.

I never would have believed that happiness could be captured in a cupcake.

I’ve been liking this style for over a year and finally decided to go for it.

We’ve passed this a few times and chuckle each time.

The kids enjoyed sledding down the giant hill. It’s actually a giant load of wood chips that came the day before it snowed.

We had to “Santa-fy” our pinata.

The nativity

The kids had a big sleepover.

Relaxing while Daddy does the work.

We’re rockin’ in a Wintry Wonderland in the aftermath of the DC Blizzard of 2009

We got the annual snowfall all in one night, and I think it looks great!

We went to the visitor’s center Sunday evening and watched Mr. Kruegar’s Christmas.  There was a room completely filled with creches from countries around the world, and these were some of our favorites.

Love the Christmas lights!

…candy, canes canes, candy corn, and syrup….

Season’s Eatings and best wishes this holiday season

Ok, so the story behind this photo is this:

We were trying to mix it up so the kids wouldn’t get bored trying to take a family photo for our Christmas card. We did a silly photo, a sad photo, and this is my favorite – the zombie photo. I had to doctor it up a bit, just for fun

I love my family!
