What a busy weekend we had.  My parents blessed us with a surprise visit on Friday, and Mom and I accomplished alot together.  All the gifts are now wrapped, the windows have plastic sheeting on them to help keep the cold out, she did some mending for me.

Dad and Calvin were busy as well.  They finished the ice fishing shack and put it on the ice.  They hauled pig off to the 'market'.  

Oh, and we even had a small birthday party for Isabella.  She turned 2 on Saturday.

Together, we all put up and decorated our Christmas tree.  Overall, everyone enjoyed the visit.  Mom and Dad left Sunday morning before the snow started.  At around 2 in the afternoon, the snow really started coming down. totaling somewhere around 18-20 inches.  Calvin was awake and snowblowing at 3 this morning.  Then he had to go to work.  He says he is tired.

Here's some pictures of our weekend.
