White Christmas Eve

We have decided that it's really only nostalgic & charming for it to snow after 10PM on Christmas Eve, not during daylight hours, please! In our attempt to beat the series of snow storms that were blanketing the midwest, we left for Chicago on Tuesday afternoon. Maybe that was not the best decision. It was a long, slow, road traveled but we made it there safely. Grandmom & Grandpop had even more snow than we did in Iowa. We spent Christmas Eve day playing in the snow. It was Kevin's first time sledding, he loved it. We built a snowman too.

2 days later ALL this snow was melted, including our snowman :(
