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!
