What the @#$!%!

The snow from the last storm finally melted away. We could actually see all of the ugly leaves covering our otherwise green lawn!  But at around 3:00 p.m. today, it began to snow AGAIN!!!! Now at 10:30 p.m., I am celebrating over another day of NO SCHOOL tomorrow! I don't care what anyone says, we're taking a snow day! Ahhhhh, sleeping in till noon!

Missing school tomorrow will put the girls at 19 days of Winter Break, 20 for Olivia.  Can I just say "home school"?!

Happy New Year!

Oak Bed

Terry has been working for months building an oak platform bed for us. He has done an amazing job! Our bed is King Size. You'll notice the holes in the sides of the base. These are for the drawers that he'll make when he returns from Japan.











It is sooooo nice to be sleeping on a mattress that's on a bed, not on the floor! We've waited for over a year to get this bed. Terry, you are awesome!

Merry Christmas to us!!

Ice Skating

For our "end of the month" reward for family scripture reading, we chose to go Ice Skating.  Lucky for us, the Stake had reserved the YMCA for New Year's Eve.  This included the Ice Skating Rink.  We didn't have to pay a thing!   So we got to celebrate the holiday & our monthly pat on the back for free.  The pictures didn't turn out well at all.  It was very dark out on the rink.  But we had a great time!  Terry lasted about 10 minutes.  I pulled him around the rink a few times, which was a lot of fun for me!   So we only have one picture of us together on the ice.  He then took over as the photographer from the gate of the rink, safely in his own shoes.  Thanks for all the fun, squirrels!    Happy New Year!
