Christmas Banquet and Snow.

Friday we headed up to Ladysmith for some sweet Christmas banquet action. It was a lot of fun, laughs, and great food. We had turkey and ham at the same time. Elizabeth's dad was MC and Naomi was the musical lead, her voice was quite angelic.
So after the banquet night we woke up to 6 inches of snow on the ground. It has been snowing ever since. That was Ladysmith which always gets more snow than Victoria. On our way back to Victoria we thought that it would be just rainy and wet here, but not at all. Victoria got some snow as well.
This is the Durango outside the Cowley house. I must say that our new truck dominates the snow. I drove all the way back to Victoria in 4H and didn't have any problems. We also drove all around a Christmas tree farm today along snow covered dirt roads with no problem.

This is the malahat. Not a plow in site. By the way my pet peave is little stupid cars trying to be heros by going on the malahat and holding up all the traffic by sliding around and spinning into the ditch.

One last thing is that we did, was get our Christmas tree today, but not from the tree farm. We ended up getting it from Home Depot and it's really fat and nice. I'll put pictures of it after we decorate it, maybe tomorrow.

Appropriate you're having a taste of winter down there, and I "hear you" when you talk about those stupid little cars in the snow, this is the weather you really appreciate sturdy vehicles!
Pleased you have your Christmas tree....have sent a little something for it in celebration of "Baby's First Christmas"..(Yukon style). Plan to cut our own "Charlie Brown" from the new lot on the week-end, weather permitting!... at the present -42 it's much too cold to tromp a tree through the woods.. branches snap off like twigs!
Take care, God bless... counting those baby days!
