• This morning I got out of bed, stumbled to the bathroom and looked out the window:

  

  Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

  The snow is still coming down, but much slower, and it isn’t sticking—–yet.

  I walked into the living room with my coffee, and Ken had opened the front door.  The storm door window was all steamed up, and he had drawn a smiley face on it.  Grrrrrr!

  ——————————–

  On to a more pleasant story!

  Last Saturday, DIL Lori called.  Grand, Louise’s 14th birthday was to be Sunday.  They had wanted us to come over there, but their main bathroom was out of order.  They also had commitments on Sunday, and wanted to celebrate Louise’s birthday on Saturday instead.  They asked if they could just bring the cake over here and we could celebrate her birthday here instead.  I had planned on making spaghetti over the weekend anyway, so told them to come for dinner, too.

  So they came over mid-afternoon.  Lydia was home from college for the weekend, and Silas surprised us all later on.  He had come home from college, too, just to pick up some winter clothes.  He saw that nobody was home at his house, and thought they might all be here.  He just stayed overnight. 

  But, it was the first time they had all been together in a long time.  So, of course, I had to get my trusty camera out for a family picture!!  Didn’t think I would get one before the holidays, since Lydia won’t be home for Thanksgiving.  (She will be going to her boyfriend’s family in St. Louis that weekend.  The St. Louis Rams had invited the interns to come to work at any one regular season game they wanted to—at their own expense.  So Thanksgiving worked out perfectly for Lydia, since the Rams have a home game.)

  Greg’s family:

  

  Lydia decided she wanted to highlight her hair while she was home.  They brought the kit along with them, and did it here.  I won’t embarrass Lydia with some of the goofy pictures I took during the process.  This picture was when Lori was pulling the strands of hair through the holes in the cap.

  

  This picture shows it after it was all done.  A very subtle change.

  

  Greg was sweet enough to set up my Wii—–and, of course he had to “test” it to make sure it was working properly!! lol

  

  He also had to give Avery pointers on the video game Avery was playing in the kitchen.

  

  Silas, Louise and Linden playing games on my computer:

  I guess all the sugar made them all hyper.  As they were leaving, they went into my bedroom to get their jackets from off my bed, and several of them—including Greg—ended up having a “tickle fest” on my bed!!  There were legs and arms flying everywhere!!  By the time I grabbed the camera they had quieted down a bit.

  

  As the old saying goes—-”A fun time was had by all”!!
