Christmas Week in review

Our Christmas was a fun filled, no power, freezing rain day. We luckily had our trusty and much beloved wood stove in which I was able to cook our Christmas dinner on and we stayed nice and toasty! We had lots of quality fun time with each other. We baked cookies, played games, watched movies, had snowball fights, colored, you name it. We were even blessed in that my hubby was able to come home for a night. It was a week after Christmas so we had another ham dinner with him and he got to open his presents. I kidded with him saying, "Thanks for stopping by the Mountain House Bed and Breakfast, we hope you liked your stay!" I am looking forward to a much longer visit later in the month. The new year has started and the weather is frigid. A whopping 10 degrees with a wind chill of below zero. It is C O L D! We woke up this morning to more snow on top of what we already have. I don't think it is going to go away this year until spring. This is unusual in that normally it snows but is gone in a week. We have had this one for 3 weeks. We were not able to get down our driveway for over a week after the last snow. We really need a four wheel drive, but even the first few days they could not even get back up our hill. That is the fun of living in the mountains I guess. I do still like the snow though. The kids are looking forward to it warming up a bit so they can go outside and play. Until it warms up though I am afraid they are stuck inside.

Were you ever this excited over a puzzle of the US?

Even Scooby was wore out from all the fun and bustle of the holidays! Here he is resting on my son. What's that they say about a boy and his dog? :)


I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed New Year! Another adventure has just begun!
