Our annual tradition for Christmas Eve is to head out to a small country town, Rio (IL), to celebrate with the Barman side of the family (Becki's dad's extended family). We woke up Christmas Eve to a few inches of snow on the ground and more forecasted for the day. It snowed all morning. We left to drive to Becki's parents to visit with family and caravan to the big family gathering. Early in the afternoon we received a call from one of Becki's uncles saying that the country roads were really bad and that they were considering cancelling. This is the first time that Becki can ever remember having it cancelled (and we've travelled out there on some horrible roads)...but we have to trust that it was a wise decision (although sad, considering we see most of the family once a year!). Since we were all at Becki's folks, we decided to stay put for the evening.
Here are the kids watching a movie - intently!!

This is what we woke up to Christmas morning - we got 7 inches Christmas Eve!
