Luckily they have lots of air mattresses and with a bit of juggling around, everyone had a place to sleep. The next morning we all gathered for breakfast and exchanging of gifts. By the early afternoon we were all able to head home as ice had melted. My cats were so very happy to see me as they had not eaten since Christmas eve morning, so they missed 2 meals. Sharing photos of it all here.
Bella and Brogan were the only children and were so anxious for gifts to be opened!
Brogan read THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS to us all.

ReplyDeleteNo, I was the one taking them!
DeleteLooks like you all had fun.
ReplyDeleteWe did! If you have to be trapped, be with people who are fun, friendly and caring.
DeleteDidn't know Roger. He sure has changed. OK better not say what I think. The married men look the best - must be good wives. Glad you all had a good time. More Later. OH yes, tell your friend from the party who says she needs to smile just remember when you pick up your camera to think of you in a grass skirt with coconut bra and doing a Hula and she will laugh and smile. Works every time. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteLOL I never wore an outfit like that! Did wear belly dancing one!
DeleteLooks like a wonderful time, Rose. The house looks cozy, too. Glad you were safe and warm in the storm. Wishing you peace, love and happiness in the coming new year. xx Karen
ReplyDeleteI think this new year will be exciting and wonderful. Going to make the most of it!
DeleteGlad you had a great time with your adopted family. Being around people you love is the best gift you can have on Christmas. I know you miss your hubby and this was nice to make sure you are surrounded with love, good food and fun. Glad the roads got better so you could travel home for the kitties. Happy New Year Rose.

DeleteWhat a lovely record of a happy Christmas. The children have grown so much!! And you got an unexpected sleep-over. Now, Happy New Year! Alice
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful Christmas - fun, and even restful, in spite of the storm. We have to find a way to stop kids from growing up so fast! Lynnette
ReplyDeletethey do grow too fast and the years get shorter!
DeleteWell Rose, if you had to be trapped; at least you were with dear friends! They have been a wonderful 2nd family for you. I am sure they appreciate you as much as you do them! Happy New Year!
