We've had at least 8 inches of new snow in the last few days! I splurged on new snowshoes on Boxing Day and can't wait to try them but now it's way too cold outside. I'm not into outdoor sports when it's -15C.
Travis is out on a fire call, saving lives and breaking hearts as usual. You can now read all about his adventures on his blog http://fireboytrav.blogger.com. Now that he's got a blog and doing posts all the time I have to keep up with him. So anyways, I'm having a lazy morning home alone. I slept in till noon which I obviously needed after only sleeping 4hrs after getting off nights yesterday. I cleaned the house a bit cause Travis is having the boys over for poker tonight.
Back in a minute...Travis is on his way home and starving from being out in the cold all morning...I'd better get some lunch ready for him....be right back.......
We had a great Christmas at my mom's. It was nice to get away for a few days and see my mom and Grandma. We took mom's snowmobile out on a field and I gave cross country skiing a try. Apparently I'm not going to be in the Olympics anytime soon. Travis got out on his snowshoes and attempted to take the crazy carpet for a ride but the snow was too deep. Christmas Day was quiet, as it usually is for us. Sue woke us up at 6:45am to open presents. At least it wasn't 4:30am like it was when we were kids. We made a big breakfast, snacked all day while working on the puzzle and playing games (I kicked butt at Scrabble) and then made a huge dinner feast and crashed on the couch for the rest of the evening. It was a perfect, typical Christmas Day. We had to come home on Boxing Day cause both Sue and I had to work. Travis drove and Sue and I both slept the whole way home.
Yesterday we went to Costco to load up on healthy food since we've been eating nothing but junk the last few weeks. We got lots of good stuff. I love Costco. Today is likely going to be a lazy day. We have to take out the recycling and a coffee at Starbucks is high on my list. We'll probably take down the Christmas tree tomorrow :0( so sad, I hate taking it down. I'm working nights over the weekend so Travis is on his own for New Years Eve :0(
