Top 5

Wondering what to do when winter decides to slow to a crawl and release its fury as it nears the end of its trek and you live scandalously far from your kin? Well, here are my top five suggestions:

5.Tell the blizzard to "suck it" and have fun anyway!


4.Devour delectable dishes daily.


3.Find an underwear tree and rub it for good luck. 


2.While playing games with friends, laugh over the really dumb things you say when everyone is too tired to think straight.


And #1 is....

Get a beloved sister named Rachel over to your house so you can: play games, exercise, eat German chocolate cake, stay up til 5am talking, get advice, laugh your head off, listen to stories, go for walks that last 15 minutes because she is from San Diego and thinks "cold" means 60 degrees, show her that driving in the snow is in fact possible, listen and be amazed at her piano playing, freeze her out in your 64 degree house, go to church with her, and enjoy it people tell you that you look alike.
It was nice to have my big sister for a bit and it really broke up the monotony of January. Which, of course you know, I usually detest. Happy Winter Everyone.

That was very sweet... but are you sure the underwear tree isn't #1? Those were some pretty hot trunks.

Wow, I can't believe your snow!!! Hate to tell ya, but we went to the park today in 70 degree weather. Looks like you make the best of it though!

Awww, such a sweet sisterly post. You guys are both pretty cool, so I can see how that would be a fun trip, even if I wasn't there. :) That picture of Keturah and Rachel is SO cute -- definitely print-worthy.
As for the underwear tree - Michiganders sure know how to have a good time.

Ok. Have I ever told you how much I love Keturah's smirk? She is one beautiful dolly. Could you please move here so we can play in the snow together? I'm still bitterly jealous of the Crellins....
