Sunday dress and hair

 

We are here in sunny California for Sunday dress and hair today!

Kristen was in hair heaven, so she styled Elle's hair for church :)

She wanted to do something even fancier, but alas, she was lacking in bobby pins.

I think it turned out fabulous!

I am Thankful

Here is our annual Thankful Turkey
He looks amazingly normal this year
(except Elle decided to make him into a Native American turkey--
which is fitting I suppose

And now for a SNOW update

Here's a picture of the car out front yesterday afternoon

and here it is today!

Elle's snowman is unrecognizable except for his little arms

I called Chris at work yesterday at 4 to tell him how crazy it looked up here.
He decided to leave for home immediately.
Two hours later he came home.
Some of the buses were running, some weren't.
Thankfully, Chris was chatting with a guy who happens to live near us.
He was going to catch a bus, then meet up with his wife in a 4 wheel drive vehicle (I have no idea what kind)
They were kind enough to take Chris along.
It turned out to be a symbiotic relationship since Chris used his phone to navigate.
Roads were closed because cars had gone up, then gotten stuck on the side of the hill.
Chris and the nice neighbors found an obscure path that only 4 wheel drive vehicles could manage, and came home!
Our friendly neighbors were one of the first feathers on our thankful turkey last night!

I am thankful for friends in California
It had better be nice and sunny for us!

Sunday Dress and SNOW!

I thought this picture was rather symbolic--

The last leaf on the tree while the snow is falling

this shows the snow a little better
Crazy, huh?!
This is what "they" have predicted is our fate for the rest of the winter
Cold. and. Wet.
Elle is thrilled!  She's already planning what to use for snowman accessories :)

Way cool blog post!
