OH! What a Christmas to remember!! For LOTS of reasons, but geez, this blizzard!! First time in my lifetime we've actually rescheduled our Christmas get-togethers because of weather--or anything for that matter! It all turned out to be a great Christmas after all, and of course, doesn't change what we are truly celebrating--Happy Birthday Jesus! Thank You So Much!! =) At any rate, we were able to have our Christmas celebration with my Mom & Dad last Sunday, so we got one in before the blizzard! That was so much fun, very relaxing and enjoyable! It's always so much fun to go home & hang out. =) So instead of having our traditional Christmas Eve at my Grandma Della's house & our Christmas evening at my Grandpa & Grandma Stone's house--we've just spent alot of time at home with the boys! Special times! =) We took the boys to the movies for the first time as a family on Christmas Eve; Went to see Alvin & The Chipmunks 2--how cute was that!! The boys loved it, and even COLBY sat for the entire movie!! =) Thought we'd be chasin him up & down the aisles, but he was just enthralled! It was amazingly fun; however after the movie we came out to a blizzard! Truly! Just never know in Nebraska! =) Actually can't believe it's not been on Christmas before! We did go over to Grandma Dellas & had some soup with a few family members that were around in town; we'll have our Christmas next week with everybody! =) But at least it got the boys out of the house & down the street for awhile, burned off alot of energy playing with Samuel & Joseph, my cousins. =) Came home Christmas Eve night & just relaxed; Nate's parents made it down in the afternoon, so they stayed with us for the night. After everyone went to bed, Nate & I opened our gifts to each other; what a fun sweet time. =) And the diamonds didn't hurt my feelings a bit! =) It was a special time! We got the kids' presents all set for morning, and then went to bed. Christmas morning, drifted in, we all got up and spent the morning enjoying watching the kids open & play with their presents. That's always such a neat time! We were able to get halfway across town to Nate's Grandma Emily's house and have Christmas dinner with the ones on his side of the family who were here in town & able to make it over! What a jot across downtown!! So many drifts & people stuck! Nate helped a couple of guys get a van unstuck, but I tell ya--if we'd have stopped everytime we saw someone stuck, we never would have made it for dinner!! If we hadn't had the Tahoe, there is NO WAY my van would have made it thru! What a whirlwind adventure! So we got home from dinner, put the kids down for a nap, and just relaxed the afternoon & evening away! The kids played nonstop all evening! Lovely! And looking forward so much to all of us just being drifted in together tomorrow. =) I will get some pictures uploaded, and will really try to get back on track with my blog and keeping up with the kids! They do such funny things and say such hilarious things anymore!! It's a hoot!! Until then; Merry Christmas to All, and to All A Good Night!! =)
