On December 22, we had my side of the family here for our Christmas dinner.
My mom and dad weren't able to join us due to the massive snow storm. We were fortunate that even our local family was able to get here. This photo taken that morning from our front window shows our road. We don't often get a snow plow around our neighbourhood. We missed my parents company, but we will see them once the snow clears up.
Keith has become the resident turkey carver. This is his second carving, this Christmas. He was handed an apron and a knife at a dinner we went to for Eastern Star a couple of weeks ago, so he was well in practice. I probably should have had him wear a mask for the task, as he is still plagued (not the best word to use under the circumstances.) with this awful cough. Turns out he has Viral Bronchitis, and they can't give him antibiotics for that. He is on two puffers and doesn't seem to be improving much. At least his temp is back to normal though. He was burning up there for about four days! With being so busy the last couple of days, he hasn't really had much chance to rest either. Christmas eve, he had to go out to PoCo where his folks live to shovel their snow. Its something he does every time it snows. He has a 20 year old 4 wheel drive 4 runner and he doesn't have a problem plowing through the white stuff. They were thinking of him when they said " you cant hold a good man down"
We had 20 for dinner. My sister Carol and her partner Came with their brady bunch of 5 kids. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling to see this very happy little blended family. My baby sister s happiness is always a blessing to me.
It has hardly stopped snowing since that night, and now the snow is so much deeper! Glad I don't have to get to work today! It is still snowing today!!!!
Ill do another post about our Christmas Day.
