More snow? Come on!

We currently have about 18 feet of snow at our house. I'm not exaggerating either. And today we are getting six more inches of snow. Then, it's supposed to snow on Monday, and Mike heard next weekend we are supposed to get 2 more feet of snow. Holy crap! This is what our house looks like from the front.

I know, you almost can't even see the house behind all that snow! Here's how it's looking in the back.

It's very deep. See our grill? The snow goes up to the top of the grill. I caught Briana on top of the grill today sliding off of it with the sled! I made her stop, but it was quite funny.

Here are the girls on a huge snowdrift in the backyard.

And here are my little snowbunnies after playing outside today.

And, last but not least, the other day I went to the zoo with my mother in law (because I am a crazy person agreeing to go to the zoo in -32 degree weather). And I fell in love with this ORANGATAN. He was cuddling up to me through the glass. I love him. I almost brought him home with me but those mean people at the zoo wouldn't let me. So this video is all I have left to remember him by.

New Year's Eve Par-tay!

We are currently hosting a New Years Eve party at my house. Savannah is here for a sleepover, and the girls are off doing girl-y stuff and not hanging out with me at all! Here they are in their matching pjs.

And here they are getting ready to leave for the fireworks.

We took them downtown to see the fireworks, and that was the only 10 minutes of silence we have gotten so far tonight :) After the fireworks, we went past Clark Griswold's house.

They are currently playing the Wii fit and we have plans to watch Santa Buddies with popcorn in a few minutes.

Sledding

Santa brought the girls several sleds for Christmas this year. So yesterday, Briana tried them out in the back yard.

This next video just about gave me a heart attack.

So today, we took the kids to Zorinsky to go sledding. It was a huge hit.

Kindergarten gingerbread houses

I got to go up to Sydney's classroom to make a gingerbread house with her yesterday. It was very fun, and I must say, we had the best looking house in the classroom!

Letters to Santa

The girls wrote their letters to Santa the other day. I think they both did a great job. I really, really hope Briana was good this year because I also want a mansion!



Sydney wrote hers all by herself, and I was very impressed with her sweet letter, and all the words she sounded out and spelled!

In case it is too light to read, it says:

Santa Claus

Thank you for all the presents.

I tried to be good.

I want a Smurfs bed please.

To: Santa Claus

Love: Sydney

Look what I did on my snow day!

Aren't those so cute? The are magazine Christmas trees! I saw it on Martha one day, and they are super easy, and best of all, all you need to make it is a magazine. That's it! If you want to make one, here's the link. http://www.marthastewart.com/article/magazine-christmas-trees

I know Martha's trees are all glittery and pretty, but I think mine look great just like this!
