So the plan was to have Christmas dinner on the 26th, so the whole family could see them, they would get Christmas dinner and Joe would get his Santa gifts. Back to Henryetta we went. Like I said, it had snowed on Christmas Day. We were a tad worried about traveling because of the roads and we didn't know of they were icy between here and there. So off we went, for the 3rd time in a week. My uncle and cousin were supposed to fly from Florida to Dallas then to OKC and my aunt was going to pick them up and take them to Henryetta the next day.
The roads were good going from our house to Henryetta...once we got in Henryetta, that was a different story. Roads were not good! We actually had quite a scare trying to get up the hill to my grandparents house and ended up having to take a different way.
We got there and realized my aunts car wasn't there. So we go in and come to find out, because of weather in Dallas, they had to detour to Austin and ended up staying the night there and didn't know when they would be able to leave Austin to get to Dallas and then to OKC. Total bummer!!!! But since we had the whole family there and the food was cooking, we went on with the meal. Right before we sat down to eat, they were leaving Dallas. As we sat around, Adam decided to take Colton outside to play in the snow. Oh my gosh...little kids in puffy coats, hat and gloves are the cutest thing ever!!!! He picked up the snow and played a little, then Adam pulled him around on the sled. He had a blast!!! I think Adam pulled him for 15-20 min. It was pretty cold outside too! Colton came back inside and said "cold! Burrrr!"
Sadly, we had to leave to get Sami to the airport in OKC before my uncle got there. As we were leaving Henryetta, they were just leaving the OKC airport to go to Henryetta. We actually passed them on the highway. But we got Sami to the airport and said our goodbyes. Thankfully, we will be seeing here again very soon because she's meeting us in Colorado to go skiing!
After a bunch of traveling and celebrating Christmas, it was sadly over. The boys were glad to be home and play with their toys. We were exhausted! But we had a great week spending time with family and eating way too much food!
