Grabby and Owl! Our pumpkins.
Grabby and his Doppelganger...................on the left by the metal post. That is our neighbor's yard. He cuts tons of wood and dries it.
Who's stalking him. You might have to blow up the pic but that black thing on the center left is another Grabby-looking cat. Looking right at him.
Marma visited. Dad did too but I didn't get a pic on my own little 3megapixel camera.
We made a homemade sushi feast. Sometime in November.
I made apple pie from the Granny Smiths on our own tree here!
We are yet in the middle of crafting and fermenting our first home brew!
We went shopping at Target at 10:30pm. Much better than crowds.
I visited the lovely and beautiful Stormy, whom I wish lives another seven or ten years.
We realized the snow had already begun to fall last night before I got home to decorate the tree! So, we shook it off vigorously...and Art carved the bottom so it would soak in the water.
Every year we forget to trim the bottom branches off. Then - after trying to get the tree to not fall over for about twenty minutes- we remember the year before's same problem and start ALL OVER!
Our finished tree! It's so pretty. This year our theme is white, and 50's-ish....so the lights are white. And the snow was white outside the window, falling the whole time we decorated it!! We were up til 3:20 in the morning. Watching the snow fall, listening to Christmas music pretty effin' loud, and hanging up our ornaments. Here is one of our views into the house from the front carport in the evening....
And though we saw it pouring down snow all night, there was more to come! We woke up to this today! The best Christmas season present ever.
Our little red house.
Some blue sky even peeked through.
Our front deck!
This is our camelia bush. I love how it looks like tiny paw hands are all over it.Art shoveling our non covered front porch!
Our neighbor's Charlie Brown Christmas tree. He is really cool and lives in this little trailer next to an old cabin (see below).
Even the mail lady got out and about during the day! I got a dress in the mail!!!!!
I love snow shoveling. It feels pretty natural and smooth and it's fun like a ride! Anyhoo....just a little touchdown of our goings-ons here. I skipped many, but that's cause I don't take that many photos! Hopefully I will see alot more snow photos in the coming days. I hear Matt and Amy got PLENTY. And Placerville is snowed in with no power!!! Can't wait to see the documentation of such cold and icy adventure. Love you kids!!!Adie

I love you guys!! Your place looks so perfect to be snowed in at, all cozy. Hopefully we will be able to come visit you guys soon. I think Placerville might have got more than us. We only have like 6 or 7 inches, which is a lot, just not tons! Love you xo
I think Placerville got about the same as us....Pretty sure we got a proper foot of snow. Measuring from our wooden fence in the backyard when we first woke this morning. Heather said they got like two feet...but I haven't been able to talk to them to find out more! That dang power outage! They are all sleeping in the colden dark right now...no heat. Cept Dad I guess. Can't wait to see you.
Hi guys, WE ARE BACK!!! can't believe it...finally have power. this town is crazy right now. i have spent a lot of time out and about this afternoon, it has been below freezing ALL DAY. i wore darin's coat with the fur hood all day (uncle dan's old police coat) and gloves, long johns, sweater, regular clothes, two pairs of socks and furry boots. still cold!!! seriously, so icy and crazy.
