Christmas Eve-Day after Christmas

 Jeremy had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas. The weather was really bad both days too with freezing rain. The day after Christmas, the grandparents and Laura came down and we opened presents. 

We opened presents Christmas Eve when Jeremy got home from work and I made a nice ham dinner. 



Elizabeth found her old sparkly red dress while cleaning her room. She used to LOVE wearing this dress in preschool. It sure won't fit her now! 

Christmas time the day after Christmas. Pippa came down too! 


Laura bought Elizabeth some really neat nail stuff for Christmas! 

Even Pippa smiled for the picture!

Dec 5-Snow Day-3 inches of snow


It snowed 3 inches and they decided to cancel school. Our first snow day was Dec 5. The kids had a grand time playing around outside in it. Elizabeth was outside all day with the neighbor kids. As I type this 2 weeks later, the snow is still pretty much all there. We have been in a very deep freeze. The main streets all got plowed and are ok now. However, all the side streets in the neighborhoods are just sheets of ice as that 3 inches of snow just packed down. I'm not sure why they didn't even try to plow anything after a few days and looking at the forecast and realizing this wasn't going anywhere for a while. The forecast says it should finally warm up to freezing the day after Christmas. So that is 3 straight weeks of frozen temps with not much thaw!
