Wow! We don't normally get two winter storms in a season, but here we are, all white out again! We've been making the most of it. Dennis is busy on a truck in the shop, and Cooper and I have been hanging out in the house....he's been helping me clean and cook. For some reason, I go into baking mode when it's like this, it's been fun and I know the boys enjoy it. I made my fist homemade cinnamon rolls....can't wait to try one!
It's 2010!!! The last year has been pretty eventful for us, in mostly good ways and we're looking forward to seeing what this year has in store for us. We wish everyone every blessing this new year has for you!
Well, we did end up with a REALLY white Christmas! In fact, we didn't go anywhere Christmas day after we got a couple inches of ice and then 6-8 inches of snow on top of that! This picture was actually just the beginning of it, the snow made it even whiter and the snow drifts we got because of the high winds were really high. We attempted to go to my Dad's today, but that didn't happen, after we got about 1/2 way there and decided to turn around since we encountered several wrecks and lots of idiots driving like there was nothing slick on the road. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get 30 miles. So, we are home again, just enjoying relaxing a little and I've started taking down Christmas decorations while I have some time on my hands and getting some reading done. I always thought it'd be nice to have a quiet Christmas at home, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
I can't believe it's Christmas Eve!! We began our celebrations last night by going to Darian's house in Pryor, the kids were all so excited! Cooper wasn't really sure what was up, but he was SUPER excited to see all the gifts and get to play with his cousins. We had lots of fun hanging out! We had planned to go to Dennis's cousin, Kristine's house in Claremore after leaving Darian's today, but "the weather outside is frightful", so we headed on home and it's a good thing, too. A few of my family members were going to join us for Christmas Eve service, coming from 45 minutes away in good weather and opted not to do that, which was also a wise decision. We are staying home, not going to risk getting out in the slush tonight. This isn't exactly the type of white stuff we'd like to see at Christmas...prefer just snow without the ice!
Enjoy our Christmas Train pictures and Rains Christmas pictures...more to come!
It's getting cold outside! We're getting ready for Christmas. Thanksgiving was great! We spent Thanksgiving day at Grandma's (Dennis's grandmother) in Mulhall, Oklahoma, then went to visit friends in Edmond, then home for another Thanksgiving at our house on that Saturday.
