Christmas was good times this year. We spent Christmas Eve at Jason and Heathers with Mom, Dad, Jodi, John, Anna, Nando, Lizard, Jason, Heather, Micah, Weston and Rylee. We had good food, a white elephant gift exchange and played games. Then it was off to driving 35 MPH on the interstate to get to Mom and Dad's house on very snowy roads. Yep...we got a white Christmas! Christmas day was all of us minus Jason & Heather's family, they stayed at their house. We stayed inside all day since it was horribly windy with snow and sleet, which lasted all day and until sometime in the night.
Friday the weather was better, still cold with some snow flurries. We all went sledding at the ranch, except Michael, Danae and Mom. Jason, Heather and I were in the Cherokee and everyone else was in Dad's truck...fortunately Dad was driving because if anyone else stuck the truck as good as he did, they would be in deep doo doo.
While driving around the sledding area, my Dad found a waterhole hidden by the snow and thus the truck got very stuck... So, we decided to just sled until my Uncle Tom could make it out and pull us out with his John Deere. Rylee was upset she had left Giraffee at home, so Heather stayed in the truck with her. Heather was still healing from surgery the week before anyhow. Dad, John and Jodi even took a turn or two sledding down the hill. It was fun and cold!
We couldn't get in touch with Tom for a while, so Michael was at my parents running around looking for him. He couldn't find him so he found Shawn. He and Shawn showed up in Shawn's truck and attempted to get Dad's truck out...it wasn't going to budge. Just before Shawn showed up, Jason, Heather, John, Rylee and me were trying to take the Jeep into town, so we could be dropped off and there would be room to take more people back into town if needed. Well, vehicle #2 got stuck. Shawn also got stuck...temporarily...vehicle #3. Then Tom shows up! The John Deere pulled us all out and we were on our way back to Mom and Dad's to warm up and drink hot chocolate. It was fun!!
Just some random pictures:
Sounds like fun! I can't believe how big Danae is already! I think it is so stinkin' cute that Michael reads to her!
