We left for North Platte a day early to make sure we'd beat the bad weather. Didn't realize that the weather was going to be bad both going to NP and coming home! We had a great visit with Kim and her family. Spent some good times with Dad and Sue, Molly and Brandon and Jeff and Denise. Cooper was spoiled!!!!!
Then we went to First Lutheran Church for Christmas Eve and out to LeeAnn's to open presents and eat (too much)! It was chaos, but so fun to be with everyone who made it back. We were going to come back to Seward on Christmas Day, but an EPIC snow storm kept us in the Holiday Inn Express in NP. Christmas Day we got to see LeeAnn and her family again to have Christmas dinner. I-80 stayed closed through the 26th, and we could not have gotten our truck through the snow drifts and down the street to our house anyway. So we ate, played cards, watched movies and hung out in the hotel. It was an unconventional Christmas, but definitely memorable.
We celebrated with Chet and Diane as soon as we got home. That celebration was late, but still so much fun.
Here are a few pics of Coop's Christmas and the snow:
Cooper got a golf cart from Nana and Papa. Here he's wearing Nana's new pink boots to go golfing.
Cooper loves French Fries and sharing. A day or two after we got back home, still in his PJ's, feeding french fries to Elmo. Chet and Diane got him this Elmo it knows his name and talks to him about all of his favorite things - including French Fries!
This is Chad and I (in our new hats) standing in front of the snow drift on our back patio when we got home from NP. I don't ever remember seeing drifts like this!
You can see the drifts over the fence on BOTH sides of our backyard.
We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas that was filled with the same kind of joy and wonder as ours was!
