So all of our wishes came true and we had a White Christmas. Ok, in the STL it was pretty flurries but it was still snow! Christmas morning the kids woke up to snow and Santa! What a day!
We didn't leave for Iowa on Christmas Day as planned because the weather was so bad their way so we spent a lazy Christmas day playing with new toys (or assembling and finding batteries in mine and Greg's case). We had no food in the house so we had pizza from Casey's. Thank God for gas station pizza on days like this!! I mean not even a McDonald's was open. The horror!
In three days they got 24 inches of snow. 24!! That was on top of the 8 or so inches they already had on the ground. Ry wasn't all that found of snow taller than her but CJ had a blast.
CJ wasn't the only one who had fun.
Greg and I came home the day before New Year's Eve since he had to work and the kiddos stayed with Mamaw and Bapaw until Saturday! They had a great time and Greg and I got to welcome in the new year with friends we hadn't seen in a long time. We had so much fun!! Not only did I make it to midnight, but we didn't get home until 3:30 am!! That is a record for me! Don't worry everyone (Tom :-) I was the designated driver.
We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and have an even better 2010!
