It's official.....Winter has come

Winter has definitely shown up in upstate New York. We got a few inches earlier last week but on Friday night we got close to a foot of snow! We were left with only one option for Saturday......Sledding!!!


We usually go to a place called Strawberry Hill but it can get a bit crowded and it is pretty steep for Avery and Samuel. Don't get me wrong, they have both done it before, but they don't like it anymore after they wipe out. It's a pretty long fall to the bottom of the hill!
This year we went a different route! Our friends Mike and Jenny invited us to come sledding at their house. They have a great hill and Avery even got to sled with their 1 1/2 year old Evelyn.
We had a couple of trails going (always being careful not to slam into their house at the bottom). The kids (and adults) had a wonderful time!I took a moment to relax before it was all done!

A Poll...Brought to you by Mr. Carrier

Tonight is the CMA awards on NBC and this time of year always brings a few comments about me looking like Miranda Lambert. I guess it would be appropriate to say she looks like me because I am older. Regardless, when she appeared on the scene back in her Nashville Star days (around 2002) I had a handful of people tell me we looked alike (this was back in Texas). A few years and a cross country move later folks told me the same thing. My husband, Gavin, has always agreed. One night, in fact, he was flipping channels and saw Miranda on Austin City Limits. He watched the whole time in amazement and kept telling me, "make this face, say that, etc." I believe my response was to fall asleep next to him on the couch.
So here's the question.....Do you think I look like her? Leave your comments and settle this once and for all. I can kind of see it (when you look past the blonde hair and blue eyes) but to me it is more obvious watching her live. So if you feel so compelled you can Youtube her.
I'll post the results when I get enough comments!
