Merry Christmas

I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas.

We celebrated Christmas morning here opening presents and playing with all the new stuff and then headed to the kids' Grandparents house. The roads are terrible out and it took longer than usual but we got there. We had a very nice meal and opened presents again. We were there almost six hours and then we slowly made our way home.

Now we are home and the little one is in bed and I have hooked up our new Wii and the older two kids are loving it. And I must admit it is a lot of fun! I think this is a great winter time game. We only have the game that came with the Wii which includes bowling, tennis, baseball, boxing and golf, but that is keeping us plenty entertained right now.

We will have another Christmas gathering on January 2nd when my family will be coming here. I hope the weather is a lot better then.

Weather

I had a heck of a lot of scraping to do on my windows today before I left work. We had freezing rain for quite a while, then sleet, and then it turned to snow.

On the 6:00 news they said we had 4" of snow so far and it was still snowing then. It has stopped for now but this wintry mix of precipitation is forecasted to continue for the next 3 days.

Thank goodness I don't have far to travel on Christmas Day, but boy do I feel for all those people that will be traveling in this stuff, Yuck!!!

More Snow is on the Way

After watching the local news tonight and checking out the Weather Channel afterwards we are obviously in for some really crappy weather the rest of the week. We already have a lot of snow on the ground so we really don't need more but we are getting it regardless. They are talking snow everyday through Friday! And on Wednesday and Thursday there might be sleet at times. Luckily we only have about 30 miles to travel each way on Christmas Day so hopefully the roads will be ok. I really hope everyone can make it to their destination safely.

Christmas Baking is Done!

I baked another five applesauce cakes today. And I put together two jars of smores.

That concludes my baking for Christmas. Now all that is left is to label everything and make it pretty and put it all in baskets. I am almost ready for Christmas and I am so glad for that.
