Weekend

Alright so you all know that is snowed here this weekend. The official tally from Saturday was 7.7 inches. It broke the record snowfall for the day. Basically it was a lot of fun because people turned into their usual paranoid selves and couldn't drive. The snow was really wet and heavy which did cause a few problems around the Cities. We had a lot of trees and branches down. A few power lines snapped under the weight of the ice/snow as well. We didn't lose power on the west side of Bloomington but a good chunk of east Bloomington lost power for a little while. It's much better today because the roads are clear and people went back to driving like normal.

Yesterday Trav & I went to the Mall of America to try and finish up some Christmas Shopping. We had a good time wandering around stopping in store after store. After shopping, I went over to my girlfriends house (Lisa) to put together our gingerbread houses and tree for the ladies tea this Friday. I'll post a picture of our table all put together on Sat. Lisa, Mary & I had a great time decorating the houses with frosting and candy. After we finished decorating, Trav brought pizza and soda over and we all watched a movie together. The girls decided that it would be fun to have a movie night, so we had all of our significant others participate as well. =)

Today was a great day. There was just a little dusting of snow, nice and fluffy. We spent the morning at church and the grocery store. After we got home, Trav watched football while I did some cooking. I made 2 loaves of Italian Panettone bread. It's a really yummy bread that makes the best toast ever. Traditionally it's a dessert bread but we've adapted the bread to our liking. I also made chili and corn bread for dinner. It just seemed like a good and hearty meal to have now that we finally have snow. Tonight we plan on just relaxing before another hectic week at work.

Until next time, Love Trav & Tiff
