My last post for the night!

Two nights ago we had a pretty severe thunderstorm. I woke up at 3:07 AM to the crash of something hitting our house. I woke Steve up, surprised that I had to. I went to the front door and when I opened it, I saw a trampoline in our front yard. No, we don't own a trampoline. I freaked out and thought that we were in the middle of a tornado. There were no other signs of a tornado but we realized the following morning that there must have been some kind of micro burst. Our next- door- neighbor, the owner of the trampoline, is about 100 yards from our house. Not to mention, we have 75 feet of forest in between our houses. The trampoline made its way over their house, through their yard and over our 70 foot tree's and hit our roof and then landed in our front yard. Here are some pictures of the aftermath.

I tried to show where it hit our gutter. It bent our gutter in two spots. We were so happy that it didn't cause any more damage than that.

This trampoline spring was sticking straight up out of our yard. I thought that was kind of funny.

These are the trees that the trampoline flew over. Holy Cow!

Putting Up Our Christmas Tree!

i love how all the ornaments are at the same height as our kids. mom had to do a bit of rearranging.

Steve's grandma made this angel in 1969. This is Steve's only contribution to our annual tree decorating. I will let you call him Scrooge if you would like.

Our Thanksgiving weekend.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We enjoyed ours. These are some of the pics that I took while we were at Libby and Jason's house that weekend. We had so much fun.
Our family picture didn't turn out so great but it was the only one we got before we lost Dakota. TC was very upset and was hiding behind the couch, so he wasn't pictured.
