Winter is here...

Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they do when they stick together.
- Verna M. Kelly
What a crazy week!! We had a storm come in on Tuesday and just pound us until Thursday. I think it ended up being 15 inches of snow. Then the temperature dropped and wind chill dropped the temp to -29. So, school was cancelled T/W/TH! It was heaven! We got a ton done, including our Thanksgiving puzzle. We needed the break so bad, but we still wish we had more. We are counting down the days to Christmas break. It cant come soon enough.
Pathetically enough we JUST got the tree up this week. We are so slow this year. AND we had to put it up without Bob because he was really sick all last weekend. It wasn’t the same without him. As I sat untangling lights for a good 30 minutes I was reminded of when we used to help my dad “untangle” the lights. Oh, the memories. The kids did a great job. We finally had to move all the ornaments up since Neesa kept running off with the ornaments she could reach.
We babysat the dogs again for 2 weeks. We had Whitney (grandma), Taylor (mom), and baby Neesa. She is like a tiny white fluff ball. I was glad they were here to entertain and play with Alayna the 3 days we were cooped up inside Alayna carried Neesa around snuggled in her arms like a baby and Neesa loved it.
We had the big ward Christmas party last night. Our family sang “Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas/Pine Cones and Holly Berries”. We sang it acapella and it was a huge hit!! This weekend I had to help Marisa make a yule log for her French class. It was the first time trying this recipe. I hope it turned out ok.
We have a busy week ahead. Poor Marisa has 2 concerts and her big history exam. Tyler’s musical has been rescheduled because of the snow days. Heres to hoping we make it through the week.

Love doesn't end with dying
Love doesn't end with dying
Or leave with the last breath.
For someone you've loved deeply,
Love doesn't end with death. --John Addey
This week was a tough one. Our Grandpa Cunningham passed away this weekend and we are just heart-broken. We are so sorry we wont be able to make it out to Utah for the funeral. The weather here didn’t cooperate. You will all be in our hearts and prayers. We love Grandpa very much and will miss him, but we look forward to the day that we will see him again!

Happy Turkey Day!
November 27, 2009

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
We hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving!! We were so lucky to spend it with family: Hal and Corey, Debbie and Trent and family, and Jeff and Grace who flew all the way from Arizona. We have had a very fun-filled past couple of days. One of the things we girls were looking forward to the most, was going to see New Moon which we did today! We loved it!! I think Marisa, Kayla, and friends hyperventilated through most of the movie and it was so cute. I thought it was much better than New Moon and the werewolves are definitely my favorite!!!
Happy 41st Birthday to Bob! This year his birthday actually fell on Thanksgiving so we had a dual celebration. We also went out on a date earlier this week to celebrate which consisted of going to Staples to buy a new printer (ours died!) and a trip to Cold Stone on a very chilly night.
We also took some family pictures (a special thanks to Corey for being our photographer) I will post a couple, but the rest you will have to wait and see on our Christmas card.
Alayna got sick AGAIN! She keeps getting a fever with it, so we have to keep her home from school. She missed two days this week. I stayed home with her one day and Bob the other. Tyler auditioned for and made one of the main parts in the school science musical called “Cosmic Pinball”! I am so happy and excited for him! I know we have had a busy week, but I cant seem to remember everything. Maybe because I am so enamored by “New Moon” that nothing else can penetrate my mind…lol!
We head back into our normal routine again next week with a VERY busy December ahead. These small vacations go entirely too quick. I have yet another principal observation this week. I am getting so sick of them. Cross your fingers for me- I need all the help I can get!!
