December was an interesting month. We had more snow than anyone can remember, with wind and temperatures dipping into the teens. Church was canceled two weeks in a row, Matt works for the state and offices were closed. James and I had the week off and the Kammeyer's found themselves homebound. We occupied ourselves with napping, eating, playing games, watching TV and reading. It was great to have all our appointments canceled and not have any pressure to go anywhere or do anything. We did venture out periodically to check on other people and make sure they were ok. Blink was not happy at all with the turn of events. She drove us crazy, especially when the wind blew. She wanted to go outside, but didn't like the snow or the wind. Matt had to let her in and out during the night.






















It was really kind of fun to have the whole family together while the elements raged outside.





















These are looking out into our backyard and the park.




















Here is looking out our front door, and our cars in the driveway. Drifts were up to 6 feet deep. If you look close at the picture of our front lawn, you will see the foundation of Matt and Katherine's first home they were building. Unfortnately, things got busy with Christmas and they never got past the foundation.
