Snow Storm

Well, Christmas got cut just a little short this year! We got hit with a huge snow storm that took out our power (and about 250,000 other homes!) and iced over our roads for 3 days! Christmas day we went home around 5pm so wouldn't get stuck on the roads. Around 9:45pm that night, we lost our power and it didn't come back on until Friday around 5pm!! We spent the first night at home and slept with no electricity (which was so hard to do with all that silence!) and it was horrible! We were freezing cold and all we kept hearing were the trees falling in our backyard! Trees fell on our fence and on our power lines! It wasn't pretty... and still isn't!

all bundled up inside the house to keep warm!
Thankfully, for the 3 days that our power was out we were able to stay with Matt's grandmother who did have power! We were so thankful for her hospitality because we didn't have anywhere else to go because no one else in our family had power either! For those few days we ate too much, slept in and watched movies in Granna's warm house!

baby patagonia!

kisses! we ran out to get groceries and a movie!

all bundled up! it's cold outside!

sleeping while we did some shopping!

watching a movie with granna!
got cabin fever-went shopping-it got crazy


We finally got to go home on Friday and it felt so good to be home! Matt and I were running around like crazy getting stuff done! There was tons of laundry to be done and the house needed to be cleaned as well!

Matt went hunting this weekend and killed 2 does!


This will replace all the meat we had to throw out!!

That's all I got for now! I went back to work today after all the holidays and I'm already tired!!



with love,
