Happy Christmas Everyone - Wish You Were Here

Happy Christmas to you all from Andy, Larry Dan and Becky. Wishing all of our friends and family could be here as we miss you all and need some help shoveling the driveway.


Well we've certainly having a white Christmas here with at least 24 inches of snow in December

No excuse not to use the BBQ though...
And although I never thought I'd say it, we do have enough snow now. I think this is partly due to us having to clear the driveway 5 days out of the last 8 and me not doing my back any favours by wielding two snow shovels at once to get it done more quickly.
We also had the water main to our house develop a crack today - so you can imagine that it being Christmas Eve not a lot got done but as you can tell from the picture below we now have 40ft of ice rink outside the house. To be fair the city did send someone out who has stuck cones over the pavement and salted and sanded it. Luckily it was on the cities side of the main so we shouldn't have to pay for it.On the plus side I've been snowboarding twice in the last week and it hurts a lot less when you fall over in the powder. I'm taking some time off of work too which is much needed. Someone from work sent this link around which everyone found extremely amusing (you might need IE to view it rather than firefox) so click here for a yuletide chortle.

There are now officially no more baking days left until Christmas so we finished today with a gingerbread house.
