Christmas Celebrations

What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. It was so nice to stay at our house and have the party come to us! We had Thor's mom and step-dad, and two of his sisters, Lee Ann (with 3 kids, Baylee, Christian, & Adam) & Amanda (with her boyfriend Quintin). We woke up on Christmas morning around 7 to the sound of all the appliances shutting off. The power went out! Our neighborhood lost power for about an hour that morning. We tried to open stokings with flashlights and candles, but it didn't work that well. We managed to delay the kids until the sun came up a little while later. I'm not sure what we would have done for dinner that day if the power hadn't come back on! We had a yummy prime rib roast, with potatoes, green beans, and rolls. Not to mention a load of desserts, chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, and cookies galore!
