Sixteen inches of snow fell over the weekend in Minneapolis! We had a guest harboring from the storm and snow covered roads, my dad. Katine, Tucker and I took a long walk and went to the hardware store and bakery to stock up in the morning. Later that day, I snowshoed for 1.5 hours to get some soda for my dad and beer and wine for the winter weekend ahead! It was a great time with good food that Katina cooked for breakfast lunch and dinner and we even tried out the crockpit her grandma gave her for the birthday. When the snow finally stopped falling, we had to have my little car pulled out even after 30 minutes of shoveling. My dad (prepared as always) had a tow strap and was able to drive with us in tow to 42nd street.
Before all of this snow hit us, my secret sneaks and I were able to pull off another surprise birthday party for Katina. This time we went to Buck Hill tubing and she didn't have a clue :) Unfortunately, the snow meant that the rest of her weekend fun was called so no Pancho villa on Saturday night and no tree ornament painting in Apple Valley on Sunday. I am glad that Katina had a great Friday with friends and family!! Happy Birthday, Honey!
