It started snowing Christmas day and didn't stop for about 24 hours straight. We got over a foot of snow which is the biggest snowfall I can remember in a loooong time for the Chesapeake/ Va Beach area. We rarely get any snow here and the city shuts down for even an inch or 2 so a foot creates total chaos. Pretty much everything was closed yesterday which was bad for all those after Christmas sales. Usually it is in the 50's right now but I remember plenty of Christmases when it was even in the 60's and 70's.
Here is a pic of our dog Jake. Poor thing had to go to the bathroom and the snow was about up to his you know what so he was having a hard time lifting a leg to go. Lindsey went out and dug a big circle out for him to go, but he was too confused to figure out what he was supposed to do. We were cracking up.
This is the morning after….the snow has stopped and the sun is coming out but the high today is only 35 so it won't melt too much. I told Lindsey it looked so pretty she should go swimming. The pool is a toasty 39 degrees! LOL! She thought that was a funny idea so she went and put her bathing suit and boots on and wanted me to take a picture of her out there for laughs.
So, here she is in her bikini out by the pool. She only stayed out there long enough for me to take a picture and then ran back in. She thought it was hysterical. Hopefully the neighbors weren't watching and thinking we were nuts.
Here she is with her snowsuit on making snow angels. Even though she is almost 18, she still acts like a little kid when it snows.
Here is our hot tub….it might be warm enough to go in there later. We keep it at about 100 degrees so it is nice and toasty. I am ready for spring already though and the winter is just beginning.
This is a view from the front door of our court….not many people have ventured out yet so it is still so pretty out. Well, no stamping pics today but I hope you enjoyed the view.
Cute pictures! Poor Jakey-Jake.
Hi Lisa!! Love your blog!! I tried to post yesterday from my new Nook but although it let me sign in, I could not post a comment..one day I'll figure this device out!! ANYWAY wanted to send you sympathy. Here is Baltimore we were saved – very little snow. But I do remember what snow did to the residents of Richmond when I was there in college. Trouble is, yo'al don;t have enough snow removal equipment to handle the snow since you get so little. The bikini picture was an inspiration! So funny! Kudos to your daughter for embracing what she had and making it special!! We also have to shovel out a space for the pup – he won;t go if he can't get a whiff of the grass!! Happy holidays. thanks for sharing your talents freely. Hope to meet you at convention one day!

Oh my gosh our relatives live in chesapeake as well. When they told us how much you got there we didn't believe it… Crazy this weather
Love the pictures. The pool does look inviting . . . especially since I live in Minnesota and the temperatures are in the single digits. Oh, for the warmth of 39 degrees.
