Snow Day, Birthday, Stay Warm Day

>> Saturday, February 27, 2010

Got the beloved 6:00am phone call from work Thursday morning, "Code Red, don't come in." On top of that, it was Joe's Birthday! Double whammy! Rolled out of bed, swaddled ourselves in everything fleece and went down stairs to start the day off right, with pumpkin pancakes.

We spent the whole day relaxing, eating, eating, eating, eating, eating, watched a movie...while the outside world slowly covered itself in a thick blanket of snowy powder.

Made Joe a derrrrricious lamb dish for his birthday dinner, which we devoured too soon for a photo opp...but was able to catch a photo of the raspberry souffle we nommed for dessert.

All of this delight was unknowingly coming to an end....

Because we soon lost power after our day o' feastage. And didn't get it back until this morning.

'Tis what close to three feet of snow will do I suppose.

All is now well and we are eeever so grateful our power is back, got heat, and warm water to take showers.

Nom nom... how were the yummy- looking pancakes? I have 2 cans of pumpkin to use up...

Also, I'm hoping your next post is a baby announcement one! :) :) :)

Those food pictures look like they are either out of a food magazine or Dwell magazine I can't decide which. Pumpkin pancakes yum! You are lucky you can still eat, by this time in my pregnancy I felt like had taken up residence where my stomach used to live. Can't wait to see her!
