Interesting Christmas

This year was the first year for me to have a White Christmas...and I mean REALLY white! The kind of white that isn't even fun because the wind is blowing to hard and the snow is too deep for you to get outside in it. Much different than when it snows in Texas. And almost a week later there is still TONS of snow on the ground. We almost didn't make it to my mom's house in Texas because we could barely get out of our driveway! We got stuck 3 times on our street and then we had one small mishap on 35 that ended in a tow truck pulling us out of the snow (thank you Lord). Here are a few pictures from our week.

Trying to go south on 35...this was what we saw the whole way!

The good news is Jack and Jacob are starting to play together! The bad news is they are already starting to "fight" :)

My mom got Jacob a little Handy Manny car and he doesn't quite fill it up so she put a 2 liter Dr. Pepper in there to weigh him down...innovative I suppose:) Jacob seemed to enjoy it!

Jack's big thing this year was 'trains' so he got plenty of train accessories including a Lionel Lines remote control train. He loves it!

Erik remembered why he longed for warmer weather when he decided to move from Nebraska to Texas for college. He hasn't had to shovel snow in almost 10 years!!!! He did a great job clearing our driveway although he did end up taking some Celebrex later that day because he said his back hurt:)
