Crazy times

A lot has been going on in the Stewart house. Zach's mom and dad came and stayed with us for a week, and we worked the whole time. We worked on spending money, on eating ourselves sick, and checking off items on Zach's TO DO list. We were busy.
Sue and I finished most of our Christmas shopping while the guys cleaned out our garage and organized it. What a change.
Then, Zach and Rich built a mantle for our fire place. It looks so good. I can't believe what a difference it makes.
Sue and I painted the kids bathroom just for fun, and we also got our Christmas tree and decorated it and Rich and Sue added a ton of gifts under it. We had such a great week. It is always good to see family and be able to strengthen family bonds. It was a great visit and now we are lost without anyone here. We miss you family!!!

On another note: IT SNOWED HERE YESTERDAY!!!!! I have never been so excited for anything in my life. I looked out the window and saw it snowing and I ran around the house looking for my shoes like I was a little girl, I grabbed the boys and we had to run around and scream and jump on the tramp. It finally made this holiday season feel real. I love the snow. I am a true Idaho girl thru and thru. I love you snow, thank you for visiting even though it was only for a day. Hope to see you soon!!!! Love, Rik This is snow, not dandruff. Can you tell I am excited

Snow in Mississippi
