On the Road Again!

Thursday, December 17 - We hit the road and hit it just right - clear weather, smooth sailing, well at least driving! At every stop, Chase purchased one more piece of clothing to keep warm. He left Sacramento in short sleeves and shorts, but by the time we reached Idaho, he had bundled up appropriately. Here, he couldn't keep from rolling up a snowball to torture his poor unsuspecting mama - all in good fun!

Ashleigh's graduation from BYU-Idaho, a special treat for the whole family, and seeing my Aunt Meryle on the way home was the icing on the cake!

Snow in Sacramento!

Whoopee! Monday morning Sacramento awoke to a winter wonderland - a fine dusting of Spreckel's sugar across the landscape. A rarity, this unsual phenomenon only happens every once in a while - the last time back in 2002. Before that chilly event, the last reported trace of snow in Sacramento was registered on February 27, 1996 - the last official accumulation of snow on February 5, 1976, when two inches of snow fell over the capital city. Topping it all was the all-time record on January 4 and 5, 1888 when the city saw four inches of snowfall.

Caramel Delite!

Who doesn't love ooey-gooey caramel that brings a smile to most anyone's face? One doesn't need much of an excuse to indulge, and so it was, with Uncle Craig's birthday celebration at Leatherby's. Maisen and Bailey were trying to out best one another with devouring a giant sundae dripping with this decadent stuff - all the while, little brother, Aiden, was not to be outdone. Take a look!
