MAKING SNOW ANGELS

HAVE SLED WILL TRAVEL.

Lately this is our mode of transportation around the neighborhood these days. The day before yesterday, mom shoveled the driveway and dad put rock salt on it. Worked great until today. Mom spent all morning wrapping gifts for all of Mimi's friends. Then it was time to go and deliver them. Mom put the gifts in the plastic bags so as to not get them wet. Therefore it is presents that we are delivering and not trash. After delivering presents to Halliwell, Blake and Zoe. mom pulled Mimi in the sled on the way to Blake's house and bring him back home with us. Mom thought it would be a good idea to shovel the snow again and this time since the snow was still new, it was not hard at all. While at Blake's house, we saw Wade out there with the Mac Daddy of them all. I'm talking about the snowblowers. I guess that is one of the pluses about being manager of Lowe's. You can get a discount on their machinery. Wouldn't you know it!? Just when mom finished shoveling the snow and cleard the driveway, IT STARTED TO SNOW AGAIN! Egads! I can't win for losing! By this time Zoe had come to the house and joined Blake and Mimi for some snow fun till it was time to go to Alex's house for a Chrismas party. Then it was over to Coach Derek's for a while. Next thing we knew, dad was there after picking up Uncle David and Auntie Setsue from the airport. We all then headed over to grandma's. While at grandma's, we noticed Mimi was awfully quiet. Come to find out, she and grandma was writing a letter to Santa. After coming home, we let Mimi open her presents. "Wow!" says Mimi. "Santa works quick! I got everything that I wanted!" "Thank you mom! Thank you dad! You are the best mom and dad in the whole world!!!" Kiss, kiss, kiss. Tomorrow we are headed back to grandma's.

PLAYDATE WITH JESS, SCOTT AND NATALIE

So sorry to bore everyone with the news about our snow but that's all we have to deal with now at this time and place. Since the snow stopped for the day yesterday and after mom finished with her errands, it was most definitely some time to sit down and have some fun with our neighbors Jess, Scott and their 8 year old daughter Natalie. A good time was had by all. Just before leaving the girls gave us a concert on the piano. This is something that Mimi really likes to do lately.
