Our local Meteorologist had been telling us the few days leading up to Christmas that we were going to have a white Christmas. The thought initially excited the majority of the population in good ole' Arkansas because we hadn't had a white Christmas in 80+ years. Well, they were right. It started sleeting that afternoon, and then the sleet turned to snow. When we got home that night there was probably already 2-3 inches on the ground.....and then our power went out. We had originally put Shaw to bed in his room but knew he would get cold so we put him in the bed with us. That alone means no sleep for Josh or I because the boy is a CRAZY sleeper! We woke up, all tired, to a 50 degree house and knew we had to leave. So, we went and got something to eat and then reports of the electric outages started spreading all over social media. The initial reports were 5-7 days until it would be turned on in our area! Luckily, we were only out for about 48 hours...and that was enough for us! We have very gracious family that let us play at their warm houses during the day and we stayed at my parents' house one night. Shaw loved the snow! Too bad his snow suit made him into a snowman and he could barely move! haha! Due to no electricity, we actually didn't get him out in it until the second day because we knew there would be no way for us to all warm up in a house that was 50 degrees!
Second snowed in day at Josh's sister's house. All the kiddos in the snow!

Doing a little "sledding"
The puppies loved it, too!
Loves of my life!
We went a little redneck and put the truck bed liner behind the four wheeler! FYI: Shaw did not ride...maybe next year?!
But of course he got to take a ride with his Daddy
What a fun, not so fun, adventurous, unforgettable time!
