Christmas Day 2008

Christmas Morning 2008-Little did we know that it snowed all night long and all Christmas morning. We got 18" of the white stuff and it just kept coming. It took Darrin and I over an hour just to shovel out our driveway and sidewalks-good exercise! Needless to say, we definitely had a white Christmas.

The children were so busy enjoying their toys, that eating breakfast would only interfere with their playing time. So instead, Darrin and I sat down to fresh fruit, fruit dip, and toasted egg sandwhiches-yum!! It couldn't have been a more perfect Christmas morning. Well, let me revise, I could have lived with less snow.


Morning shot, definitely not glamour shot material.

You can't see it, but we have yard lights throughout our yard. They are obiviously hidden in all that snow. The "snow drifts" on the sides of our driveway are over 4' tall-no joke.


After managing to finally clear the driveway, we headed out to my parent's to spend with family and of course, eat fabulous food. Thank you to my wonderful neighbor, Jana, her Cafe Rio ranch dip was a hit. (FYI-my food is never a hit. I am always delegated the premade items like butter, soda, Costco Pie, ice cream, etc... because I am a lousy cook!) In fact, I am awaiting the recipe to forward to my family to forever keep in our Ford Family Cookbook.





Me and My Dad!
Nous sommes bien manage!

Looks like fun. I agree with the snow, a little too much. I am sure Corrine was sad she couldn't come up for the fun, but she probably wouldn't want to deal with the snow after living in Hawaii for 6 months.
