I'll be home for Christmas!

This Christmas was unlike any other we have had in Oklahoma. It snowed 14 inches! They predicting 1-4 but we got a bit more. In the end we made it home for Christmas but it was close. We spent Chrismas Eve playing games and hanging out at Cherie's. We knew it was snowing but didn't realize how much until we tried to leave at about 8:00. We were shocked to find over a foot of snow. However, Trent was determined to spend Christmas at home. After he and Scott took a test run, we loaded the family in the van and headed home, or at least tried to. It took over 30 minutes just to get out of the driveway. We finally made it out and slid home! The kids got their traditional Christmas Eve gift, pajamas and slippers, but this year we threw in a few games too. We spent Christmas day at home playing in the snow and relaxing. The kids had a blast with all the snow. I watched from the window and dried out their gear everytime they came in to warm up. It was one of the best Christmas' yet!

Some of the snow that was waiting for us when we finally made it home. The wind had blown so hard we had snow drifts the were 2 feet tall!
New PJ's!

Merry Christmas!
