Just in case any of you didn't hear the final count for New Harmony..... In the last 10 days they got a total of 68 inches of snow (5.67')! Is that insane? Well, we took advantage of it on Christmas weekend. I pulled our nieces and nephews on the sled behind the 4 wheeler and Rick, Alyssa and even little Teryn were snowboarding behind the other one. Good times!

We were all very surprised to wake up to this "Christmas come early"..... our own little DiXie WiNteR WoNdeRlaNd. (Im pretty sure my oleander bushes are done for)

CowBoY cHriStMaS
This is Rick's mom's CowBoY ChriStMaS tree. I think that it is so cute and totally fits perfectly up there in the cabin. I thought that I would just show it. Nice elk, huh? This is not even close to being the only mount in their house. My father-in-law loves to hunt.
sNowEd iN
We drove up to New Harmony to help dig out Rick's mom and little sister. They got SnoWeD iN last night. You can see that they weren't going anywhere. We got stuck trying to make it up the driveway and decided to not push it, you know, considering the one side of the driveway is the edge of a cliff. Rick's brother Kody came up from St. George to help too. They had to use the backhoe for all of it.
bAcK FrOm CaliFoRniA
I know that these pictures are random, but what can I say. We went to Cali. this weekend and took my sister Anna and Cody with us. It was Anna's 21st so Rick invited them to come for her B-Day. We went out Friday night in San Diego with our friends Renz and Nick. You may notice that Cody is wearing an eye patch.....he lost a bet to Rick and wore it all night.
Saturday we went up to Long Beach to a birthday party for Rick's cousin Jace. There was about 30 of us that all went out to dinner for him. (I didn't take my camera)
Sunday we thought that we would go see the walls on Venice Beach that people come and "tag". Its legalized graffiti, basically. Not really my style, but its cool that they get to have a place to do it. Cody is on crutches because he lost yet another bet to Rick, so he had to hobble around on the crutches all day.
On our way out of town we drove through Hollywood.
LonDoN bRidGe
Rick had to do a delivery so I went with him to Havasu. We stayed and had dinner on the lake. It was so cute, they had the bridge all decorated for Christmas. Not many people know that the LonDoN bRidGe in Lake Havasu is the actual original London Bridge. It was built in 1831 and wasn't structurally sound enough to hold the weight of the traffic so it was sold to some rich oil guy and he put it in Lake Havasu in 1968 to make the city more of a tourist attraction. Just in case anyone was interested in that little bit of history.
3rd TiMeS a cHaRm
I have set up and decorated our Christmas tree 3 times now! I am so scared of it now. Anna and I were minding our own business yesterday when we heard a crash..... Christmas tree down. So we stood it back up (and it stands up by itself). After cleaning up all of the glass and broken bits, I start to decorate it for the second time. Half way through, for no reason at all it falls over ontop of me this time. I was so mad the first time, but this time im not going to lie, I cried. I was so upset. I called Rick just absolutely balling and he just laughed at me. So here it is, the final finished product (hopefully). 3rd times a charm!
tHe St.gEorGe eSkiMo
We went out on the 4-wheeler on Sunday to go find some deer. Micah came out with us too. It was so cold. Not at all the nice day it was when we went out last week. I am the official "sT. gEorGE eSkiMo". I was freezing! I am not kidding, I had on 4 layers and was still cold. What is up with that? I thought that I moved away from Salt Lake.
