Snow, Kitchen Update

This has been quite the couple of weeks! Fun part was visiting with Sharon and Nalani after Sharon had been there for a few days and helped unload boxes and put things away. We haven't dared ask about the couch outcome, but are looking forward to a good story! Here are the two little mommas.
Then the mess started, Since our stove had died and the dishwasher was close behind, we decided to replace all the appliances. We donated the fridge and microwave to some friends of Carrie and Sam's, so they went to a good home. That meant the old appliances had to be removed. Here's Carl supervising Jake as he dismantles the dishwasher.
Of course, the whole thing had to be done in the middle of what ended up being a major snowstorm. Again, Carl supervised while the Sam and two friends hauled the fridge down the icy stairs.
Next morning Carl was out blowing snow are 7:30 a.m. so the appliance guys could get to the house. Having a snow thrower is not luxury in Utah--it's a necessity!
After working Sam nearly to death installing the microwave and, bless his heart, figuring out a way to plug in the stove since this stove is both electric/convectionand gas, and struggling with the dishwasher, things are getting back to normal, Carl gets to enjoy the "mean" stove. Here he's making a batch of his famous nougat. He is lovin' life! Having two ovens is going to be a treat when we have all those big dinners.

Not sure what I was doing with my neck muscles in that first picture...strange!

I'm excited to see your new appliances! I bet they'll be great to cook a nice Christmas dinner in----hint! hint! I'm not real sure what Carrie is doing with her neck muscles either---maybe she's trying to make me look even bigger!

Hey that snow looks kind of fun. We kind of went the wrong place this year for a white Christmas.

Wow, that is a pretty nice kitchen. Can't wait to reap the benefits of that double oven.

You are going to love having that double oven more than you love Carl--well almost. I will never be without two again. It does come in so handy for cooking big Sunday dinners and parties. Your kitchen looks awesome.
