Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! (For a while.)

This was our little snow storm we had been hearing about in the forecast since Monday. It's here. It's been snowing HARD since about 2pm. Still snowing now at 6:11 pm. Yow.


Sissy, showing the ample accumulation on the outdoor kiddie patio furniture. (Most was from last week...it had just started snowing when I took this pic.)

Tristan, stuck in a blizzard, in a snowdrift. Helpless, all alone. Needin' a mama. Sad, really.


The 2008 Eggert family Christmas tree. Sans presents. By now, you can barely see the freaking tree because my little angel pies are spoiled rotten and we have presents coming out the kazoo. Went with all gold for years, all red last year, and this year mostly red with a touch of gold. It's workin for me. We don't do the fancy nancy pantsy buy at the tree lot trees. We go with "go to the woods, play in the snow until dark, frantically try to find a tree with the aid of a battery- needing Maglite, grab one that doesn't make you cry with pity and take the sucker home" approach to Christmas tree selection. I would highly recommend it. (Although this year there wasn't enough snow, so Daddy went to the woods and got it while we were @ the Holiday Music Festival at the University.) Hee Hee.
Merry Christmas to everyone! We love you!
:)) <- That there's a dubble chin. From all the fudge I dun been eatin'. Not good.
