Snow!

We got a few inches of snow on Saturday and Sunday. Garrett wanted to sled 24/7, the rest of us only wanted to go a couple of times, so we compromised with about 4 sledding trips. On our first sledding outing of the weekend, the boys left ahead of us and Kierstin and I were walking over to the sledding hill. It was very snowy and sunny out...no snow plows had yet passed by so the roads were covered also...it was absolutely beautiful. Kierstin said, "Oh, it's Christmas time, there's snow, and Santa's going to come. Yea! Santa bring me toys, a kitchen, a baby and I like transformers too!" We had a blast sledding the weekend away. Sorry, no photos - cameras, snow and Thompson's just don't mix.

For those of you who don't know, our dear friends in Manhattan have been suffering through a miserable ice storm. Over half of the county is without power. Our friends Nancy, Carlos, and Devon have been without power for 3 days now!! Send warm vibes their way (and master power line fixers). If you want to see photos of the craziness check out The Mercury online. Here's a photo our old neighbor, Elaine, sent....
This is in their back yard...that giant cedar tree that is lying down use to be standing tall like the others.
