Holiday Trip, Day 9


Today can be called the great defrost! We had been hit with an ice storm over the past few days that left a sheet of slippery stuff all over the area. It warmed up enough today to melt the majority of it away. It was really quite beautiful with the sun out, reflecting off of the ice.

I know that this is no where near the Arctic blast that has been happening back home, but I can say the weather is colder here than back home! I keep hearing the stories of my friends who are stuck in their homes, no electricity, cars being towed. My heart goes out to you. You will soon have a defrost!

Today, being Sunday, also means Football, specifically, Viking Football. I made a big batch of Lamar's favorite "Ass Kickin Chili Fixins" and everyone went upstairs to eat and watch the game. Here you see Lamar and his brother Andrew. Fortunately, Minnesota won, so they made it to the playoffs! At least one more week of football is in our future - of course we will be flying home during the game.

While everyone was upstairs watching football, the girls were downstairs enjoying some marshmallows with their hot cocoa. They were having so much fun being silly together.
