We received snow this past weekend... a lot of it. I left work around noon and the roads were just starting to get bad, especially closer to the house.

After a another failing attempt at starting a fire, I packed up the car and drove over to the Bradley's (slowly, mind you). At first I was a little iffy about the trip when my car first slid in the slush going down the hill in my neighborhood. Then seeing all the other cars slipping and sliding trying to make it up the hill on OHB, was my second thought to turn around... but I trudged on and made it over to Broken Bow Lane in one piece.

I had a great time Friday night, Robin rolling snow trying to build herself a snow man was the big event of the night... that and seeing Brad pass out at 11:30, note picture on facebook. It was a bunch of old friends having a good time.

Saturday morning we went outside and all the cars were covered w/ atleast a 1/4 inch of ice. I've never seen ice like that... it took me 15 minutes to scrape the windows down and warm the car up... then we alled piled in for a trip to Sushi O Sushi... thank goodness for the AWD, I'm not sure we would have made it anywhere if we didn't have the CRV. Go Honda!

After some good sushi, poor service, we went over to Ace to look for something to sled on, and obviously weren't the first set of customers to be looking for winter toys. They sold us some cabinet liner and off we were to go sledding... after a trip to the house to pick up a change of clothes and a stop at the liquor store to restock... we were back at the Bradley's.

Lot's of sledding, well RB and I only went once and I ended up going backwards and doing a couple 360 spins on my way down the hill. Bobby & Brad wore out all the shelf-lining after several more trips down the hill. We finally made it back to the house... for more drinks and a great meal Brad whipped up...

After several card and dice games, we finally ventured back outside to get the snowman put together. It took 24 hours to put him all together but he sure did turn out good!

So welcome Mr. Snowman and thanks for coming around this year. It was a great weekend, and a much needed snow day (or three).
