Christmas Day

After our fun Christmas morning at home, we decided to brave the roads and visit Chad's family. I was a little nervous because it had snowed a ton, and the roads weren't to great, so we decided to take the pick-up (thank goodness). We made it there, but had to go through plenty of snow drifts. We opened more presents (we are blessed), and then went outside to play in the snow before dinner. I was worried about making it home, but Chad is a great driver in the snow (even though he likes to scare me!). We made it home and crashed from all of our Christmas festivities.

Claire and Owen came outside to go sledding, but they didn't like that the sleds were hooked to the back of a 4-wheeler. I finally convinced them both to give it a try. Owen just cried, and Claire laughed/cried, but at least they tried it.
Our finished Frosty. The kids had so much fun making him.

I wouldn't worry too much about Chad doing those drives in the blizzard. (We had to face it too going up to Menan to see my parents and I was thankful for 4 wheel drive.) At any rate, I remember a Christmas day drive from a decade ago that he had to make in the old white car that had rear wheel drive. If he can make it in Moby Dick, I'm sure making it in the truck was no problem! Glad all went well though.
