Happy Birthday to Me!

Yup, 43 today...yikes that's old. Fortunately, I was distracted from my depressing enumeration by a fabulous and timely birthday present...ta da!



NOT! Despite the fact that it looked like this outside today:



(Rumoured to be the city's worst snowstorm in 60 years!)

I did not receive a snowblower for my birthday. DH swears WE don't need one. Curiously enough, DH is always at work when the snow falls, so from his perspective, our driveway is remarkably clear of snow all winter without a snowblower. Perhaps he believes it to be the work of elves?


This morning was the children's Christmas Pageant at church, so despite the weather, E, C and I were out and about bright and early. I think that there were more kids in the play than attendees at the service, but they had a blast anyway! Uncle Ross was invited out to see the play and have lunch with us, but the foot of snow kept him home. Oh well, we missed him but ...more cranberry strudel cake and sausage/egg casserole for us!
