Oh the weather outside’s been frightful…

The weather the last few days has been rather frigid for Tennessee. We haven’t gotten down in the single digits since the mid-90s prior to this past Monday. And boy, Mother Nature made sure it was registered.

We have been very grateful that we got our fireplace installed last month. It was very pleasant to sit in front of it and warm up while watching movies with the family.

Thankfully, we have not had any property damage this go around with the snow and ice. In December we lost quite a few branches out of our two large willow trees. To that we are just hoping they recover from the severe pruning they received.

For the most part the kids have enjoyed the extended winter break. Since we celebrate Little Christmas, or Twelfth Night, they were able to enjoy playing with their gifts before going back to school unlike usual.

Speaking of Little Christmas, the one gift that seemed to be the biggest hit was dad’s. Dad got a tabletop Foosball game. He of course has not yet played it because the kids have commandeered it. Love seeing happy faces.
All and all, we are starting the New Year off well.
