I'm NOT dreaming - it's a White Christmas!
Well, if you live in Oklahoma you definitely had a white Christmas. A little too white...we almost didn't have Christmas at all. It started off pretty good. Abby, Noah, and I drove to Sayre on Wednesday night to miss the weather. We figured it would be a little bit of snow, nothing too bad, but didn't want to chance it with the baby. We woke up the next morning in the middle of a blizzard. Sleet all night, then blowing snow all morning. 60 mile an hour blowing snow at that. Well, I woke up about 7 (or should I say got out of bed at 7 - woke up at 4) and thought I'd pass Noah off to my dad for awhile but he was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he thought it would be a good idea to drive to town and shut down his office. My mom's phone rings at about 7:15. Dad drove his car into a ditch and into a huge snow drift. So, Mom leaves to go get him and you can't see 10 feet in front of you. Total white out! Thank goodness he didn't get far. They both showed back up about 30 minutes later without the car. They had to get a tractor to pull it out of the drift later that day. Very exiting morning!
Thankfully, that was the only accident we had to deal with that day. I know a lot of other people weren't so lucky. By Thursday night, we were pretty sure Matt, Kelsey, and Cody weren't going to make it. We were pretty upset - Crappy Christmas 2009 was the theme. I really didn't want to celebrate Noah's 1st Christmas without his daddy! But, they all decided to chance it on Friday and everyone made it out to Sayre safely by Friday evening. We ended up having a great Christmas! Matt only got to stay a few hours but we squeezed it all in. We played a couple of rounds of Dirty Santa and everyone gathered around Noah while he "opened" his 1 million presents. The coolest thing he got was a collector grade train set from Grandpa. I think Dad and Cody played with it the most, but Noah did seem to really like. We are going to add to it every year so it will be something great for years to come.
Anyway, we are all safe, happy, and home. Thanks for the great Christmas everyone!!
