Seeing Santa.

We ventured out to Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World Friday night with our friends the Halls.

The kids visited with Santa and played with toys and games set up in Santa Land.

They had such a good time.


Here we see Griffin sharing with Santa everything he has on his wish list.

The snow had started coming down so we decided to cut our visit short. We had planned to have dinner together afterwards, however with the snow falling as it was we all decided to get fast food and head home.

The weather was UNBELIEVABLE ... the snow was coming down very fast ... the roads were covered and it seemed as though the snow plows forgot about the interstate. We drove along the interstate about 25 mph all the way to our turn off.

I thought we were in the clear until we reach the hill we climb right before turning into our neighborhood. This hill is always covered with water ... and guess what ... it was ice! We couldn't make it up the hill in Mike's van. We kept slipping. I just knew we were going to careen off the side down into the trees. That scared me silly. He finally found a button to push to turn the traction on/off (can't remember which one) and we made it up the hill.

Whew ... talk about stressed.

So, we turn into our yard and our house is all lit up and the snow is settling ...


It was a beautiful site!

We've been settled in and have no plans to leave the house today.

Well ... we might have to get outside to do some snow tubing ... we'll see.
