Ice Storm

Dec 12, 2008

The big news of the NH winter so far was the big ice storm.  It rained for 2 or 3 days and then the temperature dropped so quickly, everything was coated in solid ice.  Hundreds of thousands of people were out of power for days; some even weeks.  Aaron and I were some of the lucky ones - we lost power for about 20 minutes that morning and it remained on through the holidays.  We took a drive around our neighborhood around 3:00 in the afternoon, after some of the ice had already melted - it was pretty, but sad to know the affect it had on so many homes here in southern NH.

Thanksgiving in Vermont

November 26th-30th

We headed to Vermont for Thanksgiving this year - we had spent the last couple in Texas.  We were able to attend Shawn & Kristy's annual Thanksgiving Eve party - it was a fun time.  I must say, that I only had a few drinks, but Kristy makes her cosmos VERY strong!!!  I learned my lesson for next time - be my own bartender - lol!





Thanksgiving day - all 18 members of the family were together. It's always a full house, but fun to spend time with everyone all at once. We tried to get some family photos, but the group is just getting so big, it's tough. But we did take a fun one which would have been the family holiday card if Shawn wasn't hidden.


Another year to be thankful for our family - and the two new little ones who joined in 2008!
