Merry Christmas! I am writing this on day five of our snow-bound Christmas getaway to Omaha, Nebraska. We had intended to come over on Wednesday evening and head up to Sioux Falls, SD for Josh's family Christmas. Our plans were derailed when a snow storm (Josh calls it Snowpocalypse 2009!) threatened our celebrations. We tried to outsmart the storm by leaving on Tuesday ahead of the predictions. While we managed to get to Aunt Vicki and Uncle Chris's before the storm hit we didn't manage to escape it's wrath. We have been snowbound for the past 5 days (I'll include shoveling pictures in my next posting.
While we were stuck at least we were stuck with family...
anyhow we've made the best of it and have enjoyed Chris's wonderful cooking. Unfortunately Grandpa Terry, Great-Grandpa Terry and Uncle Randy all had to celebrate on their own due to the weather.
Weather aside we had a wonderful first Christmas with Abram. He got the hang of unwrapping presents pretty quickly. He was definately spoiled by his Uncle Andy and he's loved all the attention.

I'm so glad we were able to make it out to see my grandpa Clayton before the weather got too bad. Pictured here is four generations.

This is the cutest - he got a toothbrush in his stocking and was so excited about brushing his teeth we actually had to take it away because he brushed for so long.
Abram got a ride-on Tonka Truck from mama and papa. He's still too small to ride by himself but he loves to push the horn.
We hope you all had as wonderful a Christmas as we did. Here is a video of Abram opening a present on Christmas Eve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWQEQfOJ4vI
