First SNOW fall!!


Last night it started snowing and this is what we woke up to, a couple of inches of snow and is still snowing!! Time to get out the four wheeler and the sled and go for a ride in the snow! Although it has snowed once or twice this year this is the first that it has stuck. If only the snow could hold off until Christmas Day so we can have a white Christmas but highly doubtful. I don't remember the last white Christmas we had.

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree...


Over the weekend we were able to put up our 12 foot artificial pre-lit Christmas Tree. Yes that's right 12 feet. It is a monster!! My mom was so kind to think of us when she heard that Marley (a Nurse from my mom's office) was wanting to give her tree away to a good home. Well it just so happens that we were needing a tree and we have just the ceiling for a 12 foot tree as you would have to have a tall ceiling to fit such a tree. We were thrilled when my mom was able to bring it by and to get it put up. With the help of Tom and Deidra (one of Tom's friends) we were able to get the huge thing up plugged in and decorated. It looks stunning!!

Poinsettia Bowl Bound


YEAH!! BSU gets to play in the Poinsettia Bowl. To bad its not a BCS bowl but it is still a bowl game other than the H bowl. Before it was decided that BSU was going to play TCU in sunny California, Ben and I decided that we would go ahead and book tickets to fly down to California to be there on the 23 of December just in case BSU was to play in the Poinsettia Bowl. We were not to worried about the whole thing because if they would not play in the Poinsettia Bowl, we would have still gone to California to visit Ben's parents for Christmas. It all worked out thought we get to see Ben's parents for Christmas and watch BSU play TCU in San Diego. We leave on the 20th of December and will fly back on Christmas day. We were so excited that everything worked out and we GET to watch BSU play.
