Snow, snow, snow!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Not in Tacoma, not in Portland, but in Manchester, Iowa. My man Mitch is on location in Manchester (with the wife, the kids and the in laws) following the big weather story for us. The storm hit yesterday and dropped 8 inches of snow. Today, he is braving treacherous conditions to send weather photos to us. With their own personal snowplow on the front of the truck, Mitch and Dean will be on the job, tracking Christmas Storm '07!!! Thanks boys!



Anyone need a fresh Christmas Tree???



If you do, jump in your red pick-up, you know the one with the snowplow attached, and drive on over to Dean and Sue Boone's. They have a bunch and would be happy to set you up!



Look out, here comes Evie whooshing down the hill. Doesn't she look great with her green jacket and coordinating green books. A fashion plate! Oh Eli, red looks nice too (just not as nice as green, way to go Evie!)



Look who is King and Queen of the snow mountain. Eat your hearts out all of you Northwesterners! Nothing beats a white Christmas in Iowa.




Ahhhhhhh!!!! Mitch wanted me to warn all of you. When traveling to the Midwest in the winter months, you can't trust that your luggage will always arrive with you. If this happens, tragedy may occur. You will have to give up shaving (apparently they don't sell razors during a snow storm) and be forced to wear plaid flannel. Please, don't ever let this happen to you!
