Oh Noes! Come Back Junior

I got these really cute penguin salt and pepper shakers for Christmas from Ryan's sister. They were unpacked and put on a shelf in the kitchen not used much but loved for their gestures. Then while in New York a few weekends ago Ry picked up this very adorable little salt dish (if you know our house we are big fans of little salt dishes). We brought the dish home and made it the smoked salt dish and, you know, went on living our life.

That is until I come out of the bedroom last week and Ryan is in the kitchen with a huge smile on his face. It's the smile he wears when he is really proud of himself so I immediately looked around for the source. And there on the counter is the below vignette. The 'Guin family as they're now known in the Zumsen household are sure to be a permanent presence on our counter for years to come.

Blizzard

We wake up to this...

And so we begin to dig out...

Eliot wishes he could play "king of the hill"!

While Bryan blows through the driveway...

Dan blazes a trail down the sidewalk with his shovel.

The house peaking out of the snow...

The guys toast to their work...

Shovel/blowing revisited... notice the pile has outgrown Bryan.

The front yard...

Nearing the end of shovel/blowing, Kismet brings over Cranium for game time.

Lil and Kismet, just about to warm up inside...


Dan is silly after 10 hours of shoveling.

Mr. Heater glows again!

A little wind blown... unwrapping in the garage thanks to Mr. Heater!


Kismet lifts her ear flap to better hear Bryan's humming... the treacheries of board games in winter wear.


Cranium and Dan's Julia Child impression get the best of Bryan... tee hee...


The house after the plows came by and the sun came out!

The driveway Sunday night... more like a drivetunnel!
