Christmas/Blizzard 2009

Here are some pictures of our Christmas Season! I spent a lot of time baking gingerbread cookies and the highly anticipated gingerbread house. Right now it is Sunday evening. We got back from our Council Bluffs trip to Gil's parents just this afternoon. It was the first day we could "kind of" get home. With a tractor escort that is! Here are some pics of the biggest snowstorm since 1913. We were lucky though. We got to spend time with my family Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Then we headed to Council Bluffs. We made it okay, but didn't leave the house again until Saturday afternoon. And finally came home today despite ten foot drifts. There are some classic pics of our adorable little boy on his first Christmas as well.

Merry Christmas to All!

Doesn't it look just like the real thing?!
