White Christmas



The first day of winter came in with a bang. Here in Colorado we will be having a White Christmas.  The weather on Christmas day is supposed to be nice but there is no way all the snow we are getting today will melt by Sunday.  I have about 15 inches so far.  I will need to shovel my driveway in order to get my car out, I can't just drive over it. It is to high.  My cat spent most of the day sitting in front of the space heater.

Meeting Santa

Sorry  I have not had a post in a while.  Thing have been crazy.  I was sick for a while, then Thanksgiving, then I went home for a memorial.  Sunday I was able to spend the day with my mom, sister, and my niece.  We went to The Huntington Library so Maria could talk with Santa.
We are starting to put together our schedule for next year.  We are going to have a few Block of the Months.
