Snowed in


We spent the weekend snowed in at my parents house. I decided that being parked in a drive way would be better than attempting to dig my car out after it gets plowed in on the street in my neighborhood. We baked about 6 or 7 different kinds of cookies, decorated the enormous tree, and went out for a late night drive through the snow to retrieve some delicious chinese food. (good old 4 wheel drive!) There were so many beautiful birds at the feeder in my parent's back yard, I had to take some photos! Up top is one of about 40 photos I took of them. Also included in this post are some ridiculous photos of Michael dressed up as Santa. My parents have an old santa suit from when my dad owned the gas station. My mom used to wear the suit and stand on the street waving at people. Anyway, Mike had fun with it.
Upon arriving back in the city tonight, we had to dig out a parking spot for Beatrice (my car). It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. We also found a cute little package in our mailbox from our friendly neighbors! A hand painted card and a little bag of candy. It's so nice living on a blog with nice neighbors! Let's hope one of those nice neighbors doesn't decide to shovel the snow off of their car and back onto mine tonight!
