The Christmas We'll Never Forget

Call us cheesey, but we like "The Little House on the Prairie." Heather has an old Christmas video of it called "The Christmas They Never Forgot," and so far it has become a tradition to watch it every year. We have a corny line that we repeat to each other, "Merry Christmas Ma. Merry Christmas Pa." Well, this is our Christmas we'll never forget. Like in the movie, we're snowed in and not going anywhere. On our back patio we have about 2+ feet of snow built up. On our street there is a good foot or more of snow. And unless you have a high undercarriage and chains you're not coming in or out. For example, this big 4x4 pick-up truck which came all the way from Washington did fine until it got to our street. And then it got stuck in the street and couldn't get into our neighbor's driveway. Some neighbors came out and helped put chains on the truck, and only then was he able to park the truck. Another neighbor of ours wanted to see if he could get out in his little Honda Accord. He snow plowed straight into a huge drift, and I had to help dig him out so he could get his car back into his garage. The benefit of this however, is that we've been able to enjoy Christmas as a family, and haven't had to worry about the commercialism of Christmas, because we can't get out to buy presents! We've done the "What God Wants for Christmas" nativity together, and reached out to our neighbors. (More of that in another post) Here are some pictures we've taken of the snow. How has your snow storm been?
