Cold and Snow!!!

Welcome to winter in Wisconsin. Grandpa and I went outside this morning to remove some of the snow and it was two below zero.

While it was snowing last night, we went outside and sat in the hot tub. That was fun!!

Hope you are all shoveled out and back to normal.

I'll see most of you on Saturday at Ella's birthday party - can't wait.

Love, Grandma Chrissy

Green Bay Packers

Hello Kids - I'm back from Green Bay to see the Packers. I'm pretty sure that I am a Packer good luck charm because every time I see the Packers at Lambeau - THEY WIN!! Maybe I should start going to every game. Here are some pictures from my trip. This guy is called "St. Vince" and he is a very famous Packer fan. I didn't know who he was when I asked to take this picture - I just liked his costume. This is the view from our seat. We were in row 40 at the far end of the field. It was really cool because every time the Packers scored, it was right in front of us!
This is me before the game. It was probably more than an hour before the game started but you can see people were starting to file into the stadium.
There are thousands of people out in parking lots cooking food and having tailgating parties. I thought that you would enjoy the picture of this goofy Packer bus.
It's Grandma in front of Lambeau Field. As you can see I was happy to be there. It's exciting to go to Lambeau Field for a Packer game. I hope you all get to do it someday!
This is the first picture I took. We were only parked about 3 blocks away from the stadium and walked over. We did alot of walking to see everything before the game.
Hope you enjoyed my Packer photos.
Love, Grandma

Monday Night Football

Ok kids - watch the Packer game on Monday night and you might see me in the crowd. I'm going to Lambeau Field for the Packers/Ravens game. I'll be in green with a packers hat - I'm sure I'll stand out!!!

Yesterday there were geese swimming in front of our house - and today there is a thin sheet of ice across the entire bay. It was 4 below zero this morning when we got up.

I'll post pictures from the game on Tuesday night.

Go Pack!!

Great-Grandpa Romie

Some sad news today...Ella's great-grandfather passed away last week. Let's all keep thoughts and prayers going out to Ella, Aunt Angie, Uncle Jason and Angie's family.

Romie was 90 years old. Ella was his only great-grandchild. Before Ella was born, Grandpa Romie and Jason built a cradle together for Ella.

Ella was lucky to know her great-grandfather. I hope I live long enough to meet my great-grandchildren - that's my life goal.

Say a little prayer tonight for the Schuh family.

Love you all, Grandma Chrissy
