Polmateer Chrismtas Party, 2008

Jaime and I hosted the Christmas party again this year, and it was a blast!

We had a big huge ice storm the week of the party. We were worried about losing power, luckily it did not happen :)
 
There was 1/2 to 3/4" of ice on everything.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This tree really took a beating and lost a lot of limbs.
They don't look so big...
But when you get close, they were about 6" in diameter. Added my boot for scale.
One of them punched through the roof on our shed.
Ice on the Saturn. This is the last known photo of this car BTW, it sold a few weeks after the party!
Icicles on our icecicles!
 
Ice on Rudy :(

Dad was sulking about something.

I think he was demonstrating how to open a jar here...
And then it exploded... ! Okay I just made that up.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Look at Mary's gestures in this series of photos...
 
 
Not good pictures, but I thought the hand signals were hilarious!
