Follow the Foxes: Christmas 2009

Christmas just flew by for us, even with the big snow storm that was predicted. Anyone who knows my mom well, knows that if there is even so much as a flake in the air, she is not going anywhere! So, when she heard the weather man say "treacherous weather coming" she called to say they weren't coming for Christmas....What?!?! I started with the guilt trip--"You are going to miss the boys' 1st Christmas?!?!" That's all I had to say. Mom made it up here on Tuesday night as the storm was supposed to start in on Wed. Dad decided to stay home and keep the driveway clear. We just hung out and watched the snow/rain all day Wednesday. On Thursday, the original plan was for David's parents and Aunt Alice to come to our house for Christmas Eve, then we would all go to his parent's house on Christmas Day. Alice never made it because of the weather so we decided to pack up and head to Britt on Thursday and stay there until the storm passed. I don't know about Judy, but it was relaxing for me with both grandmas there! We headed back home on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, we got up and got ready to head to Ankeny for the Fox Christmas at Sonja and Chez's. It was good to see everyone and just sit and talk. Once again, it was easy for me with so many people to hold and feed the babies! We headed home Sunday evening and the roads were not very good, once again. It could be a long winter!
