2010 (sounds like a sci-fi movie or something)

Wow. The snow is piling up around here like it's the frozen tundras of Alaska. Good grief. Some of these piles may not be gone before June. We blazed a path on the sidewalk out front last night, and on either side the snow is higher than my knees. Pictures to come.
We had an excellent Christmas in KS and an excellent post-Christmas in IA. It was a fun time with family and friends. The weather was a little treacherous at times, but we made it both places and back without any trouble.
Not much exciting going on around here. I'm trying to get the house organized (somewhat) with all the new Christmas goodies we brought home. They are finally almost all put away! And we're trying to get back into a sense of normalcy after being gone most of the last week and a half. The cold weather has definitely made it difficult for Chris to work. I think the wind chill today is -20 or -30. Tomorrow's not going to be much better. Thankfully they're calling for better weather next week, so maybe these kids can get outdoors finally. Cabin fever is setting in.
Well, here's to 2010 - hopefully a great year is ahead of us all! We celebrate New Year's Eve with a group of friends, so here are pictures from this year's and last year's parties. (Thanks to my husband, the only picture I can post from this year is one where I'm not looking at the camera.)
