Christmas in the Barn


It was cold!! If you could see your own breath, it was too cold to be in the barn, but everyone wanted to persevere. Emily would have rather gone inside, but I was in the minority. There was plenty for the kids to do. Yahtzee was played. Luke 2 was acted out. Everyone got reacquainted and we all talked about the weather. When the huge flakes began falling, we got a little nervous about having to house 20 extra people! But the snow began to melt and we kept warm with propane heaters, a fireplace, and gallons of hot cocoa, coffee and cider. We always have the best White Elephant gift exchange with someone winning $27 with their procured lottery tickets. We had fabulous food and no one got stuck..Thanks JJ!! Christmas was great, but I am looking forward to the new year and no more snow and no more trials! A girl can dream can't she?!

It looks like a blast--of cold air? But lots of fun.
