Merry Christmas!! What an exciting/eventful few days it has been! Nannie drove to our house in a snowstorm in the evening on Christmas Eve to spend Christmas Day with us. Gabe backed out of the garage later on Christmas Eve (to deal with some santa things) and backed directly into my mom's car... We eventually laughed about it;)
Santa came during the night, but before everyone got up the power went out (I am pretty sure my mom wished she hadn't come at this point;))... So, we made the most of it. The first pictures are only light because of the camera flash and our lantern. Thankfully it was sunny out so after everyone checked out the Santa gifts we moved to the front room where we almost passed out from the heat. Noah and Audrey both asked Santa for an ice cream/hot dog cart, James an ant farm and Ben wanted a ninja turtle. This one is still a mystery because Ben has never seen the show or really knows what they are, but he insisted on this one named Leonardo because we have been studying Leonardo DaVinci in school... I guess that is a win;)
After some gifts we pulled out the propane camping stove and cooked eggs, bacon and hash browns. Thanks to our solar panels we do have the ability to plug small things into the current electricity being produced. We were able to make hot cocoa and toast in the basement. The pigs enjoyed some leftover (stale) sugar cookies and couldn't have been happier. Overall, an fairly memorable Christmas to be sure! Merry Christmas!
