MERRY CHRISTMAS - It's a white one for Us!!!

 

 

 

The "B" Family wants to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!!! We don't need to dream of a white one this year. We woke up to about 6 or 7 inches of the stuff. Unfortunately it is really wet stuff which is not so great for my snow crew. But great from snowmen and snowball fights.

The Weather Outside Is Frightful!!!

 

 

 

 

We are all home bound today with snow and fifty mile an hour winds. If you look closely at the pictures you will notice the drifts in our neighbors yards. One in particular is two thirds of the way up the garage door. Del. didn't even make it to work to day because the roads are closed. Oh the joys of living in an area that is prone to an occasional blizzard. Can we say it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!!!!

It's Beggining to look a lot like Christmas!!!

 

We had a little bit of snow today!! The boys are thinking it is about time. They are anxiously preparing for the big night and thought the snow was a step in the right direction. But if it warms up at all this batch will melt long before Christmas.

To This! .....

 

After several weeks of working here and there Del and a Friend finally transformed our once ugly green tub into a nice new cream colored tub. It makes the main bathroom look so much nicer. I have to say I hated that ugly green tub - no tears shed on my part to have it gone:)

Halloween!!

 

 

 

 

My boys are now Halloweened out for the year. Thursday thru Saturday they more than made up for missing the church trunk or treat party. They did haunted house at the local mall, school costume parade and parties, halloween carnival at the high school and regular good old fashioned trick or treating. J.D. was a vampire this year for all occasions that called for a costume. But K.J. had two costumes he was a vampire for all the Thursday and Friday activities and then a clone trooper for trick or treating (much to his older brother's relief - older brother gets a little tired of his shadow!) Despite the costume dilemas good times were had by both and we will have sugar highes for weeks to come!!!!! Hope you all had a Happy one as well.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Jack-O-Lantern!

 

 

 

 

Last night we let the boys carve their pumpkins. (We had to do something to appease the dissappointment of missing the ward trunk or treat night - due to illness the last two days). So out came the pumpkins and the dissection began. K.J. decided that he really didn't like getting his hands goopey so dad got that degutting job. J.D. however had no qualms about his pumpkin's insides and happily set about degutting. Both boys did however want to carve their own pumpkin faces so dad lost out on that job - not sure whether he was happy or sad about that - but he will survive I'm sure :) So I think we are about ready for Halloween at our house! (And a special thanks to Sister F. for finding couple of youth to trunk or treat for the boys and for dropping by with their goodies after - the boys were way excited that they at least got some goodies.)

Right outside my Front Door

 

 

Outside my front door right now are two large maple trees displaying their lovely fall colors. Although many of the trees in our neighborhood have been displaying their fall foilage for a number of weeks ours have only begun in the last few days. I love all the great fall colors and the boys can't wait for a pile of leaves to jump in. :)
