Massive snow storm

Here is Lainey standing next to the snow pile by the sidewalk, this was after ONE big snow storm on Dec 11th. I was thankful I didn't have to work that weekend, we got around 18" all day sat and it ended sunday. Santa at school was cancelled and so were most church services. The only thing we went out for on sat was to see mom and dad as santa at russells and the grocery store. I got tons of baking done, there wasn't much else to do.

This nasty storm was followed by some DAMN cold weather sunday till wed!!!!!

Today is Thurs Dec 16 and we woke up at 530 am to Lainey puking, so I'm home with her today and she also has diarrhea, she's now sleeping and hopefully will feel like eating something when she wakes up.
Tomorrow we leave for christmas in Merrill so hopefully the 2 of us don't catch it from her and she's better by then. Breakfast with santa was rescheduled for this sunday so we hope to come home sat night to go to that. Mert says she will watch Ruby, she loves doing that now. In the snow storm her outside furnace vent plugged up and she didn't have any heat so Daryn had to go clean it out and it worked right away!
I'm still not done Christmas shopping and thats really weird for me. This year we're doing Betty's on Christmas Eve after church so that will get pretty late but thats ok I guess. Kyle and Tori will both be home so it will be great. They are currently remodeling their house and adding on and getting things more accessible for Don, so we don't know what the house will look like then, they have kinda just started. Daryn will be helping with the heat vents and some flooring.
Well better see how Lainey is.

Chris turns 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So its been a long time but its been busy around here. Almost ready for Christmas except for some presents and I guess we're going to need those. Just waiting for some cash to be able to do that. I made this card from one thats in the current Stampin Up book only changed the colors basically. I gave this to Chris for turning 40 this week, can't even believe it and now we'll have cousins turning 40 every year for awhile now. Her party was at Apple Valley so mom, Lainey and I went down for supper, Daryn had to work doing inventory.
Daryn shot 2 does on the very last day of the season, one was very small but we were so glad to finally have some venison. I bought a food vaccuum sealer to freeze the venison and man that thing is the cat's ass!!!! should have bought one sooner can be used to freeze anything.
Tonight we're going to the hospital christmas tree lighting and you can buy angels to put on the tree in memory or honor of someone and I put Daryn's name on but he won't find out until they read it tonight. Its killing Lainey that she doesn't know where we're going, she keeps guessing but I know better than to tell her anything! I already know what I'm getting for christmas from Daryn cause of her big mouth!!
I think I had the flu this past week, very achy and can't get off the couch, never puked so that was good. Then Max brought it home from his daycare and they ALL got it even with the puking, felt so bad for them but we stayed away.
We have been lucky so far that no one else in this house has had anything, I didn't get Lainey her flu shot this year but we've both had ours.
Thanksgiving was at mom's this year and Karen never called but has told us she worked that day and didn't feel like cooking. which was fine we had a great time at mom's and Don and Betty also came. I worked that day and then headed there for supper.
