Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful......

Don't get me wrong I really do love the snow, it's beautiful. The snow brings all the great sports such as: skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. But when you have to shovel every single day, sometimes twice a day for almost two weeks, it gets a bit old. So whoever out there in the northwest prayed for a white Christmas, please take it back, my back hurts.

Enough complaining from me....here are some pretty pictures. Here is our Christmas picture sans Olive, he does not stay still very long outside.


Gage was my snow gauge. He was very good at staying still so I could show how much snow we have. For all of you who have met Gage know how ginormous he is, so you can tell how high the snow is.
Isn't he a good boy?

And here we are watching the snow plow go by....yeah! But then we got almost 7 inches the night after he came by. We should have backed our cars in and out of the driveway right then while we could.

Merry Christmas from the Parkert side. Olive made this picture....but notice how Nick is holding his front and back legs....it didn't last long =-)

My mom spent Christmas in California with my brother Jason and his family, and is now on her way to LA to spend New Years with my other brother Aaron and his family. She has been gone for all this snow and just sent this pictures to me via phone......Is she trying to rub it in?

The Color Purple


My mom took me to "The Color Purple" on Friday night. I had never seen the movie, so I didn't know the full story line. I must say that it was so fabulous. It was about a young girl back in the early 1900's that could not catch a break. Her journey was really horrible and beautiful. Also the music was wonderful, and their voices were breathtaking. It was a wonderful night, thanks mom!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Nick and I also went to find a Christmas tree on Sunday. As you see below I had a very important job....Nick did too I guess. Also the makings of my forest are below. It is not done at the moment and I am still experimenting, but it has been a fun project....Maybe I will post more when we are fully decorated.



New addition to the neighborhood

Our best friends and neighbors finally had their newest addition on Sunday. We were so thrilled to meet Peyton Rose and look forward to watching her grow. Congratulations!!!
