0 - 15+ inches in 24 hours....
We survived our first BLIZZARD!! Most snow Iowa has got from one storm in over 30 years!
It started Tuesday (12/8). School got out early, businesses were closing, news was saying get home and stay put!! School was cancelled Wednesday and everything was closed! The kids wanted to go outside so bad to play in the snow...the temp was -18 with wind chill and the wind was blowing at 40 mph...WHAT?
The storm was done by Thursday, but it was not pretty out there! School was cancelled again. The kids were very excited! We were not sure how long it was going to take to shovel out!
Here are some pictures of what we woke up too....
The back door...
The deck...
The garage...
Mitch is standing at the bottom of our drive way at the street...
We were so excited to see Jason pull up with his snow blower loaded in his Tahoe!!
TADA!!!

Enjoying our Anniversary Present...
For our 12th Anniversary, Mitch's parents gave us a 12 pound PRIME Rib. Now I know that Mitch is really happy to have spent the last 12 years married to me, but he was even happier to cook and eat this beautiful piece of meat! =]
Sculley just hoping something will drop....
Jaeger waiting patiently...

Turkey Prep - Happy Thanksgiving!!
Every time I am in the kitchen making something Gavin and Georgia want to help. It was fun to have them involved with the turkey prep this year. Georgia loved every minute of it. She even helped stuffing it and covering it with seasoning. After these pictures were taken, Gavin says "I am done". It weirded him out a bit to be rubbing butter all over the turkey. =].
