Instead of bringing flowers to the door Ted brought me an icicle! The icicle was huge, almost as tall as Emily. Up until recently it has been really really cold here lately (-13F or -26C) at night and not getting much above 10F in the day. Of course when it warmed up to 25F it felt like a heat wave!
We got quite a bit of snow last week which has been fun to play in. The snow was too light and fluffy for snowballs but we managed to make a few small snowmen. The kids have had fun being pulled around with the four wheeler. Ted bought the four wheeler over the holidays and it is quite fun to play on. It came with a blade as well which helped removing the snow when we didn't want to get the tractor out.
I had tried to post this blog and we lost power due to an ice storm. Now thanks to a generator I can finish posting this! It is odd to have the power go out and no guard to start the generator. Hopefully power will be up soon!
I have compiled a slide show of our holiday season. Enjoy!
