Birthday, Gingerbread & SNOW

Yesterday was Brad's 38th birthday! He had a great one - got spoiled rotten at work and at home. He is such a great Dad and husband. We love him a lot.

Another fun event from yesterday was our annual gingerbread house making class! This is a fun tradition the kids and I take part in every year. It's actually a graham cracker ginger bread house (graham crackers instead of ginger bread) that is put on by our local YWCA. Lots of fun! The kids had a great time, as usual.


Then this morning the snow started up again BIG TIME. It has not let up once all day long. We've been holed up, doing laundry, watching movies, enjoying the fire and occasionally braving the outdoors to shovel the drive way so Brad can get the car in when he gets home tonight. The kids haven't had school since Tuesday because of all the snow and my sister-in-law just called to let me know that tomorrow is yet another no school/snow day!
That's A LOT of quality family time, people - wish us luck!

Looks like the Nielson family may be in for a white Christmas. We definitely will be having one here in Utah. 2 more major storms should hit us before the big day.
Hooray! Love the pictures of your kids.

Fun stuff and great pictures! I'm so glad that Brad is finally as old as the rest of us. Good thing the cutoff for starting Elementary school was Jan. 1st in Canada or else he would have been in my sister's grade!!! And his beautiful wife may have married another Southern Albertan with an Australian accent ;)

Tee hee.
