This was definately a Christmas that will not long be forgotten. On Christmas Eve, we headed into church for the 5pm mass. The roads were starting to drift a little and the wind and snow were getting worse, but when we left church the weather was even worse. It was near white out conditions and the drifts were getting bigger. I was very thankful that we didn't have far to go to our Christmas (my in-laws house) and we didn't have far to go home later that night (just across the road). We had just finished supper and the power went out. Turns out the power company shut it off to work on some loose lines. It was back on in about 45 minutes. The kids kept entertained with flashlights. Once the lights came back on we opened gifts and played games. It was really a fun time despite what was going on outside.
All of the kids with Grandma (Kevin's mom)
Cooper patiently waiting
Posing by the tree (Cooper had run off by then)
When the lights were out, Kevin decided to go over to our house to get a gift that we had forgotten. He borrowed Cooper's hat and I caught it on camera.
Kellen and Caden with their flashlights
Waiting to open gifts
Caden and Kellen were helping out
Grandma and Grandpa gave the kids a Husker sweatshirt
with their last name on the back
They also gave all of the kids a puzzle. Kellen had his put together in no time. He really likes puzzles and is really good at putting them together.
