Now we can have Christmas!!

Jenessa decided that if there isn't snow we can't have Christmas. Well we have snow now. It snowed Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. We received about 11 inches. Right now it is about 10 am and only 12 degrees. It has been really cold...2 below last night but fortunately we have heat and power unlike Darin's Dad in Boston. He lives in a place called Fitchburg and they have been without power due to the ice storms since friday I believe. He has a woodburning stove so they were able to stay in their home. Cheri (Darin's step sister) brought their family over to stay for a few days. (No power no furnace) They have shared stories of the noise at night from the frozen branches breaking and falling. Needless to stay they didn't get much sleep. We are thankful that they are ok. Just one more thing to be thankful for this time of year.

Jenessa's plays are done for now. The kids are just having one party after another at school this week and then it is two weeks to sleep in and play with the kids. Christmas will be nice this year. Small but very nice. Josh is coming over to the house to finish the tile work and we should have our woodburning stove in and going in the next few days. YES!!!!

I have been writing this over a few days and guess what MORE SNOW!! We had a storm yesterday and are expecting another one today.(Friday) The news said 12" to 20 " in some areas. Winter is coming all at once.

Lisa had surgery yesterday and we are relieved to find out that they don't believe it was cancer. They are testing the tissue as a precaution but it appears good.
She will be in the hospital till at least Sunday. Based on what the Dr. said....no wonder she hasn't been feeling well. To read more about her christenfam.blogspot.com) if you need an invite let me know. (heckel88@msn.com)
