Christmas 2011

We had a pretty interesting Christmas Eve this year. There was no snow, but it was cold and icy. Christmas Eve we went to church and then over to Andy and Erin's house for a Christmas party. We had a great time visiting with friends and celebrating Christmas. A friend of ours had kindly loaned us their car for the holidays because my parents were coming to see us the day after Christmas. When we left the Olson's house, we dropped off a few friends on the way home. As we were turning down the street to drop off Krista, we soon realized how slick the roads really were and slid down the hill! We all sat and watched quietly as Kelly tried to steer the car. Then we hit a parked car that was about 3/4 the way down the hill car. Another car slid down soon after, but did not hit us. Krista, Giuliana and I had a very difficult time trying to get home with all of the ice. Kelly had to sit in the car, with no jacket on, and wait for the police. It was a huge mess and finally 3 hours later, Kelly finally made it home, almost frozen!

Christmas morning was a lot of fun! Although she didn't understand the idea of Santa Claus, she did understand opening presents!
