Christmas Eve was nice, all of the family was able to make it out to my parents, regardless of the almost 2 feet of snow there is at their place. We had offered to pick people up in town as the main roads were fairly decent, but everyone decided to give it a try and made it up the hill and in the driveway. Dad and Derek spent some time in their trucks flattening out the driveway, which probably helped keep people from getting stuck. It was snowing Christmas Eve, snowed a few more inches that night and it snowed pretty much all Christmas Day. It was beautiful outside! We spent most of the day at mom/dads, got some great gifts and it was fun watching everyone open their gifts. One of my favorite gifts (grrr my parents spent too much money again! on a Big BBQ and Arbor for our yard) was the wedding album that Eric & Andrea put together for us so we have our own copy to look at. Their wedding pictures are just amazing! Here is Christmas Eve..
On Christmas Day, Eric went outside to keep the young spirit alive and did some sledding off the deck into the yard, he built a quick ramp and took the dogs mini-sledding! I have a couple really cute videos of Russell, he sled quite a few times all on his own, he and Hudson were hilarious, fighting over who was going to carry the sled back up to the porch.. lol

Eric was having a blast with those dogs..
I just love that Russell.. he's so darn cute!
more sledding action...
I got some good pics of Derek and the children on Christmas Day. What a goofy dog Hudson is, he kept trying to catch the wrapping paper and bows we were throwing into the box, he would retrieve them and bring the bundle back to you! Eric finally just put Hudson in the box, it was pretty funny.
Oh and we suffered our first snow loss... Last night I was on the computer and heard something outside by the shop, sounded kinda like metal, I didnt think much of it, it was dark outside... a few minutes later I heard something similar. The next day (today!) I look out the computer window and see the gutter to the garage hanging! So we lost the gutter on both sides of our shop actually.
As I speak, our house is shaking every couple minutes as the snow slides off the deck cover in big chunks. It has snowed every day almost for the last 10 days or more and today it even snowed pretty hard earlier on, but it finally converted to RAIN! It's not raining too hard, but its warmin up out there real quick and things are going to get MESSY!!! Derek & I were just out on the deck and you could hear and see the snow pack gradually move inch by inch over the edge of the deck cover roof and then in big clumps, it breaks off and then a few seconds later it starts creeping back to the edge again.
The ONLY good thing about this rapid warm up is that Derek can finally get back to work. In 2 weeks, he has worked 10 hours.. ouch!
