The snow may be deep, our snow blower may be broken, we may lose Emma in a snow drift...but, we can look at it all with the hopes that next winter we won’t even see a shovel, or a snowflake, or need heat in our houses, or...the list goes on!
I know, we wrote that we were dreaming of a green Christmas, but white is certainly better than brown. At least that’s what I was telling myself 2 feet of snow ago. This is ridiculous!!! I feel like sending our friends in Guatemala a postcard that reads “Wish we were there!”
For those of you who don’t live in NH, or New England in general, count your blessings. This has been a crazy winter (before it was even officially winter.) It all started with the Ice Storm back on December 11. 50% of NH was without power for days, and some still are. We, thankfully never lost our power, so we opened up our home to our cold, powerless, friends and family. That was actually lots of fun.
Abigail and Emma had great fun playing with their friends. Abigail, not used to playing with boys that much, adjusted well ... actually she still did the things she normally does, she just changed the wording. For example, we didn’t eat Magic Fairy Wands (breadsticks) we ate Knight swords. And we didn’t play dress-up, we played “The Knight Saves the Princess.”
Needless to say, Guatemala’s warmth is looking really good right now - but we sure are glad to be home for the holidays!
