Over the past few days we have been dumped on with 18+ inches of snow, so naturally I went to shovel our drive and walkway..... which led to a big pile of snow on the lawn.... which led to me seeing how big the pile could get...... which led to a snow cave.... which led to Tiff having to come out and remind me that it was after 2..... am. I get a bit obsessed a times, what can I say. For a first snow cave though, I'd say it's not to shabby. It even came with a miniature snow man that Landon and I built. Landon loves it,

We decided last minute to head to Cali for the Christmas break to spend some time with my family. It was much needed, all but the drive, which wasn't as bad as the last trip out. This time around we only enjoyed 3 to 4 hours of screaming........each way. OK, 1 of those hours was me. And for the first time in who knows how long we got a pic of the grand and great-grand kids with grandma.
