Happy New Year!!!!!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year. We had about 8" of snow Christmas eve and I think it has been pretty much snowing ever since. The other day we got another 5" of the white stuff and today it is snowing again, mainly flurries. I never thought I would be so tried of shoveling my drive way but I am. Yesterday was the 6th time since Christmas day. I am so happy I do not live further north and east. I think I am packing up the pups and cat and moving some place warm. :) Ha Ha I think our whole country is in a deep freeze and there is no place warm at the moment. So I think I will just stay here...............

Here is the snow we got from Christmas. I know not so bad right. Well here in KC, MO it has been quite some time since we have seen this much snow. We used to get this through the winter when I was a kid many many many years ago. :) Everyone was used to it then - and they could drive in it. Most places would be closed over the holidays so there was no need to drive. Just stay at home play out in the snow make a little money by shoveling out neighbors drives. You know the good old days!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a shot of my birdbath and the the little red things sticking out are what used to be my candy cane lights down in front of the bushes. You can see the candy cane lights better in the photo above. I must say now you can't even see any of them at all even my little sign. All Christmas lights will have to come down when all of this melts, maybe in April?????

The Holidays were great. Spent the day with my family and dinner, opened gifts. Just a good old fashioned Christmas. We do this every year. Its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below are my two pups opening a gift from Santa- (my Mom). She spoils them more than I do sometimes. They got a few more gifts as well from me.
