Big Snow in Nac

Harrison and I in the snow. Glad we had the proper clothes!

Thursday it did a slushy rain all day and was just kind of cold and yucky. About 8:00 that night it decided to turn into real snow and started to accumilate on the ground. I went walking about 10:00 that night. Luckily my snow boots and jacket were easy to get to. I miss the quiet peacefulness of night snowing. Friday when we woke up we had between 4-6" of snow. we had a little challenge to get the snow clothes box out of the attic but got it for snow clothes for Harrison and claire. Poor Harrison had to wear pink girls clothes. He didn't mind because they kept him warm. School was cancelled because Nac has no snow removal equipment and there was no way I was getting on the road with locals. The kids got dressed up and went out to play with friends. They had lots of fun building snowmen and having snow ball fights. They came in for awhile when they got cold but went out for one more run later in the afternoon. The only really negative part was the power was out all day too for about 7 hours. i was really grateful when it came back on about 3:00 this afternoon because the house was getting cold and I wanted a warm dinner. I even got to shovel a driveway for our Dr. neighbor who needed to get to the hospital and got stuck in her driveway. We probably own the only snow shovel in Nac.

Emily's Birthday
















Emily turned 11 this year. Her birthday was on Sunday so we had her party on Saturday at the local rollerskating rink. We ended up with 20 girls there! It was quite the party but everyone seemed to have a good time and Emily loved it. Sunday we went out to Emily's resturant of choice. She chose Auntie Pastas and had Creme Brule for her birthday cake and dessert. We went home and opened presents as a family.
