Finally !!

Well the tree is finally decorated & it has lights! For those of you that are not on Facebook, I had a slight "problem" yesterday with the tree lights. They were on the entire time I was decorating the tree, then, just as I finished they all went out! So, after alot of cursing , & a little bit of crying, I found the solution thanks to Sarah. I just went out today & bought 2 new strings of lights & carefully managed to put them over the burnt out ones, while still leaving the burnt out strings on the tree! Whew!
The tree does look amazing though so I guess it was worth all the heartache....


Here is some of my snowmen collection that I have received as gifts over the years......

Hopefully I will have no more tree issues!

O Christmas Tree

This is our 3rd Christmas in Lethbridge. This year seems harder for me for some reason, I just can't seem to get fully into the spirit. I am missing home more then ever & I think that is the main reason.
So, to help myself feel better I told Brad we were going to buy a real tree this year. We always had a real tree in Thunder Bay, but the last 2 years I have put up our artificial one.
We went to get it today, I looked for the tallest,fattest one I could find.
Here it is thawing out, & waiting to be decorated. I won't be able to do it until tomorrow though as it will take that long for the branches to drop. The house smells wonderful already & I am being to feel better!

Stay tuned for the decorated tree!

Some Kind Of Joke

Mother Nature is playing a very nasty joke on us right now!.....-49C this morning!...come on!
This weather is only fit for one animal, & it isn't humans!

Snowed In !

Ugh!!!! Yesterday Lethbridge had their first snow storm of the year, & it is STILL happening over 24 hrs later! I spent 2 hrs this morning digging out of the house! The dogs are happy, well, Kort is happy, Tate, not so much. Brad & I did manage to make it out for groceries, good thing too as the storm has worsened & I don't think we are going anywhere for awhile!

Baby Perkins

OMG!!!!! how cute was Perkins as a baby!!!! Wendy sent me these pictures of "my" Perkins for my collection! Thanks Wendy, they sure brightened up my day!
