Christmas

This year we had a very quiet Christmas. We didn't even have company over! Our dinner was delicious. But of course the best part was the presents! My gifts were awesome. One example is my new Apple laptop- an iBook G4. Or my $50 Best Buy gift card with not only an awesome care MADE by my sister Dawn but also a $15 iTunes gift card-all from Dawn. The shocking thing was that I actually had a "White Christmas". Therefore as I said before I was able to dig tunnels. Sadly, it still isn't as good as Alaska!

'Trick 'R' Treat'


I realize that halloween was almost three months ago but I never posted this: my nephew had a great halloween. Once he figured out the fact that he got candy if he said 'trick 'r' treat' he practically thought that there was nothing better. At first we couldn't get him to say it but when he finally did it was hilarious!(The costume is of a dog)!

Kiah in Oklahoma


As I said before Kiah really enjoys having snow and all of my tunnels. She has never seen real snow before this because she is only about two years old. One time when I was in the first tunnel that I dug instead of backing out like she had been doing she just had to turn around in my face. Of course it was very close quarters in there so snow was all over my face. This picture is after the snow has melted considerably and is of a tunnel that was only partially dug. I sure miss the snow in Alaska this snow can't really form a snow man!

Oklahoma "winter"



Shockingly enough, a couple of days ago it actually snowed in Oklahoma! Well actually it didn't really snow because it was for one the wind was blowing so hard that it was sort of a blizzard - so hard in fact that it blew the grill not only off the porch but it was lying on it's top on the ground. It also lost one of the doors (it was never found. Also the "snow" was more like tiny ice crystals.
The "snow" was so deep in the back yard (only) that I was literally tunneling in it. Kiah sure loved it!
