For those of you who don't live in Wichita Falls... we finally had a white Christmas here! Not just a friendly sprinkling of snow though... there were places with over a foot, and we were offically in a blizzard warning! No, really people, a blizzard. It started snowing Christmas Eve and snowed most of Christmas Day. While the snow was beautiful and sooo fun to play in, it really wrecked a lot of plans. Frank's brother and sister-in-law were stranded on US 287 literally overnight, along with hundreds of other travelers. Ryan would have been, too, if it hadn't been for his awesome truck. Ryan actually played guardian angel to dozens of tranded motorists, pulling them out of the snow with his Tacoma. Here are a few pictures of the snow... taken from the safety of my house :)
We spent Christmas Eve with Ryan's family-- good company and great munchies! I don't know if you've ever had or even heard of a "Kay Kay Cheese Ball," but I think I may have eaten enough this weekend to get California's economy back on track! We also hung out with Ryan's family on Christmas Day and night, and again on the night after Christmas. Here are a few of the pictures I got...

Aren't they good-looking siblings?
On the day after Christmas, Ryan drove me to my parents' house in Archer City for the afternoon. It was really nice to finally see them! I still have not gotten to see any of my aunts, uncles, cousins, or grandmas, but hopefully we will squeeze that in soon. We had a lot to cram in to our time at Archer, so I didn't take many pictures, but here are a couple....

It was a great Christmas! Hoping for more snow tomorrow-- that way I can miss a day of work instead of a day of fun! Then again, I'm still waiting on a few presents from UPS, and I'd like to give them out, so maybe I don't want more snow. Happy New Year everyone!
