SNOW DAY! YIPPEE!!!!!

Okay, here's the view from my kitchen window this early morning! Definitely a snow day in Iowa! And the best part is that there is another big storm coming right behind this one! It took us all, five of us, about two hours to dig out this morning. The kids are now all out snowboarding and sledding, spouse is out in a deer stand, and I've got the kitchen for the day, preparing goodies for our annual HOLIDAY BASH this Saturday night. About 100 friends and family join us for a night of merriment and jocularity. Everyone has been charged with bringing their best gourmet appetizer to wow and amaze all. My friend Nancy and I provide the sweet treats -- mini-cheesecakes, chocolate pillows of heaven, Santa's Nipples, Cranberry-White Chocolate Blondies, Mint Truffles, and a good supply of ice-cold Akvavit for a cheerful round of shots and a toast to Christmas. Everyone may have to snowshoe or sled to the party, but the party must go on!

Here's a pic of Lil Sis and I at last year's soiree. Hope she and Happy to be From Iowa can make it this year! You too, MG!

Wish I could, but it's Twin #1's big HS Christmas Choir Concert, at Skinner Chapel no less. It's a beautiful event. I'll be thinking of you guys!

I was glad to see you had posted!! I love reading your blog.
We were hoping for a snow day but alas, only a 2 hour delay.
Sounds like Saturday will be a blast! Have fun!!
