was surprised this morning when I woke up… heard a truck and jumped up to put out the garbage and recycling thinking the trucks were already in the lane… was shocked when I saw how much snow was on the ground… probably  was stepping through 5 inches as I dragged out the bins… it would have looked lovely, if I hadn’t needed to go out in it, lol…

snow coming down first thing…

the sleepover party was still sleeping but then Ron got up and went out to shovel, even through it was still snowing… could barely see my footprints as they had filled in with fresh snow…

kids got up and we had cake and milk for breakfast… Crystal and Jeff came over and we girls headed over to a local Spa for Christmas pedicures… thank goodness Crystal was driving with snow tires, because the roads were pretty bad… when we got there the plow was cleaning out the parking lot and we hoped that we wouldn’t be snowed in when we left…

the Spa was empty, very strange as it is usually very busy… we were some of their last clients as most people decided to stay home rather than go out in the bad weather…

happy pedicured toes…

driving home the wind was blowing the snow and we could barely see where we were going… good thing we live so close, lol… we were not going to miss our pedicures…

beautifully cleaned fish tank…

arrived home to a beautifully cleaned fish tank… I think the fish were even happier than I was…

had various leftovers for lunch and the sleepover crowd left… naps were had all around… Ron went out to do some more shovelling and tested my warm jacket…

the shoveller trying out my Canada Goose cold temperature jacket…

finally the sun came out and the wind died down in the backyard and I got this picture…

the sun came out, there is a lot of snow out there…

made some turkey soup and finally had my leftover turkey dinner… then watched some TV… one child is out, the other playing games…

what a memory-filled day…
