Happy New Year!!

Digging out from our snow storm. Ben doesn't have a dress on, in case Daddy see's this, it's an apron he was wearing while helping at the sink....
Our driveway decorated for Christmas.

Everything is blanketed in a foot of white sparkly powder. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

And the little dog too...
Ben's Merry Christmas present to himself. Good thing we have so much snow, someone can't ride it yet...which is ok with Mom.
Future stunt bike rider, maybe.

Snow Snow Snow! What a incredible treat it is for us here in Poulsbo to get this much snow, it's been since 1990 that we had this much. And we are loving it, as you can see from the pictures, we have a great sledding hill by our house and the big boy's went out last night at 10 for more sledding and were out until 11:30, we have to take advantage of "winter" when we get it here in the Northwest.

This past weekend we spent Fri. and Sat. in downtown Seattle with our friends and Lance and Gayla too. It was lots of fun seeing the store window display's, the people shopping and the crowded sidewalks, hear the music and ride the carousel. We even got some super cold weather and snow to get us into the Christmas Spirit.

We love being Poppie and Nanna!! It's the best of times to get to "do-0ver" all the fun stuff with the grand babies!! Ben loved riding the ponies and going around and around.
