It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

Today was a lot of fun! Woke up to 17 inches of snow...and because we had 40 mph windgusts...4 foot snow drifts to boot! Everyone hunkered down and we FINALLY put up our trees and decorated them. It was a nice bonus day and the kids played in the snow for awhile and of course needed hot cocoa when they came in...here is some photo highlights


The top of our grill on our deck had about two and a half feet of snow on it when we woke up this morning.













Trying out the macro-lens on Lisa's camera...














...still testing...















Now you know why I was testing! Here are some of my collection of Star Trek ornaments...beautiful aren't they! (you're a little jealous aren't you? Come on...you can tell me!)











...And here are the rest of them. In the past I had never put the character ones out on the tree...this year Lisa talked me into it (I'm still not sure if this was for support or to get an extra laugh...)











And of course, Kirby joined in the fun too!

Unofficial snow total in Waterloo/Cedar Falls (Iowa) - 12 to 15 inches, and all the snowdrifts we care to see. Praying that this is not a sign of things to come!!

Looks like a successful test of the macro lens. Rock on, fellow Trekkie!
