I am very behind on posts so I am playing catchup. We had a weird christmas, I can not think of any other way to describe it so that is what I am calling it. The kids opened up their gifts from us around 10 am and they were pretty excited adn happy with their loot. On Wednesday night Brooklyn didn't sleep at all which is just not like her so at about noon on Christmas Eve I took Brook into the ER and she had RSV with a double ear infection so she was a sick unhappy little girl. They sent her home with $100 worth of prescriptions. About two hours or so after the medicines she started to feel better so we packed up our things and decided to try and head to Grand Island for our plans. We got maybe two miles on the highway and it was absolutely white, we could not see a foot in front of us so we turned around and went home. It was really disappointing not being able ot make it home for the Holidays but we did try and make the most of it and rented a movie and a Wii game since we were gonna be snowed in. On Christams day we sat around and watched movies, drank hot chocolate, and played games as well as I made everyone but Carter's favorite meal of Beef Stew and homemade rolls for dinner. On Saturday we were all pretty tired of the house and going a little stir crazy. The snow plows finally came and cleared the roads about 3 so we headed to good ol' Wally World and then got something ot eat. The interstate had been closed so there were so many stranded people. The hotels were all full and people were worried about sleeping in their vehicles, it was heartbreaking. There were families with little ones and Jason and I's hearts went out to themad and offered them a place to stay. They didn't end up needing to becasue the Interstate opened up around 6 that night. By Sunday we were ready for the weird weekiend ot be over with.
