Christmas Week 2009

Today, I'm going to try and catch up on everything that has happened over the past two weeks. Earlier I posted about my family's Christmas. On the following Tuesday, we drove up to Sharon's sister, Donna. We wanted to arrive before the snow storm that was to come on Tuesday night into Wednesday. Again, the weather people were wrong. There was some ice on Tuesday when we arrived but I don't think it stopped snowing until Saturday. A few pictures to prove it.





Christmas Eve we had a lovely candlelight dinner. And it wasn't because we lost electricity. Christmas dishes, candles, everything. It was really pretty. Christmas Day we didn't get to Sharon sister, Ruth. The roads appeared to be very bad. Donna's kids surprised her and showed up on Christmas. They made it on the roads but not sure how. Something was said about one plowing the way for the other but who knows?

Sharon's sister and her family. Handsome group, aren't they.


On Saturday, we were to go to Sharon's brother, Verle for her family Christmas. We couldn't get out. Something to do with the 30 mph winds over night. The snow plow (maintainer) came by about 3:30 pm on Saturday. Finally, we could get out. We picked up Sharon's mom and went out for pizza. I think Donna was greatful she didn't need to cook. Not that we were getting on their nerves. We were only there since Tuesday afternoon.



We had a nice visit with Sharon's mom. The next day we did get to Verle's. That in itself will be another post.
