Christmas - Again!

Mommy, Daddy and I spent the day at Aunt Angie's house. We went there to celebrate Christmas with Daddy's family. I was really looking forward to it because I was going to get to play with Clyde. He and I are buddies.

Well, the day did not disappoint. I played with Clyde and all of the kids. I even got to help open presents.































Boy, I am pooped.

Christmas Eve Storm, Turned Christmas Storm - Round 2

It has been snowing for almost two days straight? Can you believe it?

By the way, Merry Christmas to all of you.

Well, the day started out with me barking loudly to get Mommy and Daddy out of bed. I hate it when they stay in bed longer than 8 a.m. in the morning. Plus, I was ready to get downstairs to see what Santa brought Mommy and Daddy for Christmas.

We all ran downstairs to see the gifts he left. Santa dropped off many gifts from Grandma and Grandpa - as well as Kristin and Eugene. Plus, he helped me wrap Daddy's gift and place something into his stocking for me. Pretty cool.

It was a good thing that Mommy and Daddy went out yesterday to clear the snow. It snowed overnight - but at least Santa had a better place to land the sleigh (not as snowy as some of our neighbors). I hope the weather didn't disrupt his trip too much. It was still snowing when we got up - and coming down quite heavily I should add.







Daddy decided that he and Mommy should wait to mmove the snow. So, we opened all of the presents. I enjoyed opening all of the gifts. I love paper - and I have been waiting all year to unwrap the gifts.






















Mommy and Daddy got really nice gifts from everyone.

















I even got a gift from my cousin Jackson Hareing. He sent me the 2010 Bun Space calendar. He is Mr. December. How cool.



Mommy and Daddy went out to move the snow again. We have had a lot over the past couple of days.





How much more did we get overnight - today?



Boy, I am pooped. I think I will take a little rest now.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Snow Storm - Round 1

It's Christmas Eve! Do you know what that means? It means that Santa and the Reindeer are getting ready to deliver presents to all the boys and girls.

In Minnesota it means clearing the way for Santa to come - given we are in the middle of a snow storm! That's right! The snow started to fall early evening last night. I was worried because Mommy and =Daddy went to Bernadette's for the evening. While they were having a good time talking with their friends (Melissa, Steve and Rich too), the snow was picking up in pace. So, when Mommy and Daddy went to leave Bernadette's, they had to wipe away all the snow that had accumulated on the car.

Can you find Daddy in all of the snow?



Overnight, more snow fell and this morning Mommy and Daddy decided that they needed to move the snow that had fallen overnight. That's because more snow is expected late this afternoon - Saturday. They say that we could get as much as 3" per hour. Crazy!

Anyway, Daddy thought it might be a good idea to have Mommy freshen-up on her Snow Blower skills. So they set out this morning to get it done. I think Mommy and Daddy look pretty funny. It reminds me of Ralphie and his brother from one of Daddy's all time favorite movies...A Christmas Story (by the way, the 24-hours of a Christmas Story starts tonight at 7 p.m.).





Daddy demonstrated his successful techniques in hopes Mommy would be able to do the same thing - if not better. Then, it was Mommy's turn. I think she did a great job.







But, she turned over the controls to Daddy and shoveled the walkway and part of the side walk (while Daddy was working on a little repair to the Snow Blower).



What was I do you ask? Watching Mommy move the snow from the front window.







So, how much snow did we get? The forecaster's said we got anywhere from 3-6" overnight. But, Daddy measured the snow in our driveway and it said we got...see for yourself.
