A little breezy

Two weeks ago we had a wind storm that cased a lot of damage, we were even with out power for 24 hours . We were lucky that in our little apt. area there wasn't a lot of damage. But driving down the street one could see a lot of trees down and power polls. The Sunday after the storm we went to church to find out that we would just be having sacrament meeting. The rest of the day we were asked to go help clean up the trees, to avoid more problems with a storm predicted that night. It was a very different Sunday but all types of people come out to help each other.



There were four tall firs, and now there is only one tall stump.
Hundreds of trucks were on the roads hauling limbs to the high school or landfill. It was a nice decoration for Christmas having garland strung along every street in the entire city.

The big dump truck at the end of the picture was filled with only a few trees in it. Nearly every pine tree that was over 30 feet tall was blown over.


On a lighter note, we celebrate St. Nicholas Tag. It was fun to have LE get excited to see her shoe filled with candy and a gift.


I know this shirt is cheesy but it is so true. LE loves to help out with whatever we are doing.


Ba is very excited when she was able to get LEs hair into two very small piggy tails. It only stayed in for about an hour but it was still able to be done. She will probably get her first haircut when she is 5.
