The picture that got left out

This picture didn't get put in my last post so I had to add it. It is the one that shows a little over 8" of snow. Make sure you read my last post.

Snowy day at home

This is just what to do on a snowy sat. afternoon. Gabby crawled up on the couch with grandpa and promtly fell asleep. So did grandpa for a while till Gabby made his legs fall asleep. We are getting a lot of snow. So far we are not getting any wind with it but that is going to come later this evening.

I had a brainstorm on how I could show how much snow we have gotten since yesterday so I stuck a ruler in the snow on top of the fridge we keep on our deck. It shows that we have a little over 8" at 3:30pm The other picture shows how much is piled up on top of it. Then I had to take a picture of our gate on the deck with the snow on top of the pickets. I think it looks like wide rick rack. Korey and Gabby just left and Butch Nick and I have to go to the store to get some things for tomorrow. We are having our family christmas at Elmwood where my Grandma lives. I have things to make for my covered dish but I didn't get our gifts for the exchange. My guild meeting for this morning was canceled. I hate when we have to do that because I always enjoy the me time with the ladies. But it was a big safety issue with the roads being bad. It was also a sewing day but we will have that at a later meeting. We are going to be making pillowcases for kids. They are fun to do and my grandkids like the ones that I have made for them. Time for me to go so we can get back here soon, have a great snow day and keep the sewing machines zooming through the patches so you can get that quilt done and on the bed. Karen

Christmas , New Years, Family and Kids

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I seem to speed through the last month and didn't slow down for anything. We had a very nice Christmas even thhough our family is falling apart and nothing will be the same at family gatherings. My stepson and his wife split up last spring and the weekend before Thanksgiving my stepdaughter came over to tell us that her and her husband is splitting up too. Their partners will be missed by Butch and I. They both were part of our family for a long time. The littles had a great time opening gifts. All 4 of them got leapsters from us and games for them from my mom. I was a little worried about getting Nick one because the age on them only go to age 8, which he is but the kids play with them every time they are here. We have discovered that they have games for up to 4th grade. My son is having another baby with his current girlfriend. A little girl so they say. I think he is trying to populate the whole world by himself. He is taking a trip to the Dr. when he gets his income taxes back. I am taking him myself!!!!! If that don't work I will do it myself!!!! We had all 4 of his kids here for christmas and Ryan got to stay with us for almost a week. That doesn't happen much. He is such a quiet little guy. Not like the other 3. This is a current picture of the 4 littles. Nick, Ryan, Korey, and Gabby.

Yes Korey has a black eye. It seems that he was jumping on something [Gabby's bed maybe] and fell on the corner of her toybox. He is lucky that all he got was a black eye. My grandma was with us christmas day and we got a picture of her with Shawn and his kids. We had 5 generations here that day.
It looks like Gabby is trying to give a look at her chubby leg. Hard to belive that for a little while she is our baby. She will be 5 in March. She is not the well behaved little princess that she tells you she is. It is time for me to go. I have to go back to work tomorrow after being off for 2 weeks. I am not going to want to get up in the morning. Have a safe and happy New Year!
