Great pics Mimi It looks super duper crowded in that one castle pic

Saturday night at MK was very crowded plus the picture includes the area where things are roped off for the parade, so the people are all jammed up on the sidewalks. We were actually concerned about getting back into MK that night after the CP at EPCOT. We thought it might be at capacity. We still got in, but yes - it was exceptionally crowded. Elsewhere in the park, it wasn't bad at all. We went back to MK for only about 25 minutes to get pictures, so we only had to put up with it for a little while. I did get run over by a stroller - pulled my croc off my foot, and it took the dad a while to apologize. It was so nice to be going solely to soak up the atmosphere and see the decorations. We rode 2 rides the whole time we were there - and that was FINE with us. Since we got in for free, we felt like we could just enjoy the atmosphere.

Here either. We have over 33" so far this season, with 3"-5" coming tomorrow, 1"-2" tomorrow night, and a Winter Storm Watch with 4"-8" on Wednesday.

Our record for December is 49+". Not sure if we'll surpass that or not. We have another week left in this month.

Our normal is around 17" for the season through today.

We are well ahead of last year and we had the 2nd snowiest winter last year 100". Our record is 108"+. I think we may give that a run this year.

Yesterday was bitter cold (high of -4* with a windchill in the -20*+ range). With the strong winds came blowing snow. I have a 3 1/2 foot drift on my driveway. Up the block there is easily a 5-5.5 foot drift. Even the plow couldn't move it this morning. They'll have to get the front end loader out there today to move it before the snow starts flying tomorrow.

I'm so in need of a tropical vacation right about now.

I heard on the radio that this will be the first time in a VERY long time that Canada will have a white Christmas coast to coast, so I guess Mother Nature is feeling a bit chilly with us right now..lol

 

[Nerbiepie]

Sounds good to me We can get together on Friday or Saturday night if that works for you

Yeah, we don't do curling or politics

Friday is at Shannon's house and Sat during the day we have online plans..lol friends we seem to be ignoring..tsk tsk on us. just been sooo busy. So maybe sunday??.. we don't have work but I am sure Rob will be needed as always.. so up to you guys

 

[cntkg1]

is it me or does that kid look a little like karens ellis?

Exactly what I thought Mike!

Now for the meet picture -

Fantastic!! Thanks Mimi. I'm going to have to look at the other's when I get home because my screen is really dark here at work. From what I can see they look awesome!!

Mimi great picture. We thought about you all on Sat. We have been very busy getting prepared for Christmas. I have found a poochie that I want to add to our family but Tommy is resisting. I will wear him down. I do not know why he always has to put up a fight. After 28 years you would think he would have realized he does not get to win. It is cold her in KY. We do not have the snow or ice but it is 5 degrees which is very cold for here. I am ready for the cruise.
Heather - great tree. I better get to work.

I think I may have to cut and paste this post in a pm to Robin.

this story sounds way too familiar.
except that for thr first time in 33 years, i'm going to win.

Guess again Dawg.

I did but I started digging through my cupboards and realized I didn't have flour..sigh.. and then Bailey was like "play a game with me" and I was like..duhh ok.. and then wow happened...time whisked away...next thing I know Sean is calling saying he is on his way home... and I failed at baking.. erg

I'm not a huge fan of the new James Bond films really anyways and I never even knew you were coming till after you called and I was eating..lol
Ah men and communitcating..lol

but maybe we can get together during the holidays?.. for a lunch or brunch?? games night??..that sorta thing?.. and the guys can sit closer together so we can cruise talk and not be interfered with random politcal or curling talk...lol

Canadian DISmeet. Where are we meeting???

The closest I'm getting to a tropical vacation is sitting at my desk here at work with the space heater blowing on me. Ahhhhh, now that's what I call tropical.

Yes, I know what you mean..I had to remember that I needed sets for everyone but myself. Putting your decoration on the tree this year, rought back great memories. Thanks again Rose.

Hi Everyone! Kathy - Great job on the report and the sale report!!! The sales were amazing - absolutely AMAZING!!!! I am posting a picture of the mini-meet sans Paige and Rob or Melody and Eb. This is not the most flattering picture of some of us (notice the halo over Kathy's head though - she is an angel!!!) but everyone had our French CM take one with their cameras, so maybe some of us are in different stages of fromage in some of the other pictures. It was really fun to saee Kathy again. I truly enjoyed meeting Karen, Neil, and Ellis as well as Cheryl, Al, and Rachel - what a beautiful young lady! It was short but sweet, and it has made me really look forward to October. Mack had a great time trying to get a soccer ball Ellis defended - the boy has skillz!!! True to form, Karen taught me some more English - England does not use cell phones but mobiles. I love learning! Our time was short, but thanks to our hosts, Kamy and Steve who plan to come on the Bash, it was WONDERful!!!!! Disney at Christmas is amazing!

Mack and I attended the Candlelight Processional that night after dinner at Rose and Crown - Karen had told me that as far as being true to its background, R&C was "Okay." I enjoyed my dinner very much - especially my husband's cheese tray. As to the Candlelight Processional - All I can say is I hope Disney always believes in keeping Christ in Chirstmas in such a grand way - the CP is absolutely something everyone should experience at least once. Abigail Breslin was delightful as the narrator, and there is something very special about having a young person read the Christmas story int hat fashion. The talent of the singers and the musicians was absolutely incredible, but the conductor was a force with which to be reckoned. He was outstanding!!! We even took video of him though I haven't looked at it yet to test quality. I'll post it if it is worthy of his talent.

Now for the meet picture -

Thanks for the photo Mimi...sounds like you had a great mini meet.

Good Morning Bober's. We are on our last 2 days of school here, and the sun is peaking out for the first time in a few days. Just a warning East Coasters we just sent a HUGE storm your way, better bunker down. My sister in the Seattle area got a foot of snow, she said it was the most snow they have had there that she can remember.

Well enough of that here's a bit of warm stuff, my christmas tree, well my 1 of 3 the others to come later.

Love the tree Becky...more please. Wish we had room for more trees, but one is a squeeze.

MK Main Street from the railroad station

Lamp post - these were so pretty

Main Street

In the Main Street Bakery - they had decorations like this all over. Disney didn't have to do this much - it was wonderful!

Beach Club - gingerbread pirate ship

Carousel at Beach Club complete with hidden Mickeys

Tree at Beach Club

Beautiful decorations. I think we'll have to go a Christmas again soon.

Did anyone else do the festive tour at MK? We did and got a christmas decoration at the end.
