MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pam in the SnowWe shoveled and shoveled yesterday. And woke this morning to greet Christmas with more shoveling! hah

Looking forward to global warming. They say we can expect another 20 centimeters before the night is over.

Are we not full yet?

Here is a little movie to go with our winter theme; it’s from a couple days ago. There is a lot of snow there, as you can see, but we’ve had at least 8 inches since that movie was taken.

This is of a neighbour’s house, just so you don’t think I’m the only one around who does his lights up!

Another great snow-in

Max In the SnowSeems for the last few years running we’ve talked about the worst snow storm ever.

Like most of North America, we’re digging out from another big dump of snow this year. I hope you’re all safe and warm, and your cars are running without any additional damage!

Digging OutMax likes the snow, that’s for sure. He has no problems plowing into any snowbank. The snow is piled way high.

Took about an hour to dig the driveway out this morning -third time i’ve dug the sidewalk in 36 hrs – I didn’t sign up for this – supposed to be the WET coast! And not a single car came by.

Two trucks came by, but that’s it. Basically the city is crawling. The police were recommending that only those with chains should be driving. It is very deep on the corners, easy to skid out.
Digging OutThe snow has buried about 30% of our display! lol Just keeping the blowups going is a challenge some nights. The snow easily beats them down.

But honestly, really enjoying the snow. Would like to find a place to skate outside!

Last night, Pam and Max and I went for a nice walk, and we cruised up the middle of the street, since there were zippo cars. He’s a very obedient guy, came running to our side every time we called him when a car dared the streets. He’s quite hysterical in the snow, when he gets pumped up.

We met another couple of dogs out in the snow, and they figured it was the off leash park haha.

He was always running back to us with face full of snow just grinning.

Christmas 2008

Early light showMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The following pic is from mid November or so – before we left for Aruba.

Early Light ShowHere is the first picture of the house for 2008. It’s very early yet. Only one small blow up – and no reindeer.

Pam and I made a Santa’s sleigh this year – it’s not out yet either. We’ll save a bunch til after mid-December. Don’t want to peak too soon! LOL We’ll add almost daily for a while.

November 13th Additions

Here is a new pic of the house with a few blowups stuck up, once we got back from Aruba.

Reindeer - looking to the streetWell somehow I got talked into putting up the reindeer. It was the little girl next door – it was all her doing! I swear. I went to tell her that i had some deer to put out, and I wanted to add after I got back from holidays, but she was so excited, I couldn’t tell her then now could i? It would cruel to the poor kid.

ReindeerThe picture on the left is looking at the house from across the street. Pam ‘suggested’ I add the blue lights around the chimney – it’s a “net light” designed to go around bushes – but looks cool there too.

Tree with StarHere is another picture – this one showing the star on top of the tree – this is the other item I added today. The star had a variety of patterns it runs through, flashing, fading, chasing. It was given to us by the neighbours when they moved away.
