Sometimes you really want to be in two places at once. We woke up to a dusting of white snow AND news about a huge blizzard that would be hitting most of Nebraska.
After looking at the timing of the storm, if we didn't leave today, we would not be making the trip. The family was super supportive of me and we decided to make the trip today. Drake and Marshall were able to get their last minute shopping done, I did some stress baking and Tanner was extremely supportive. I finished wrapping the gifts, Hadley and Drake exchanged gifts and we were able to open a few gifts in front of our tree - Christmas pjs included.
This change certainly affected each of us in different ways, but in the end everyone was a trooper and Tanner said it best when he said what matters is that we are all together. It's not our typical Christmas Eve, but we have the Broncos on, Christmas music and time together.
And we've secured a tree at Jaima's and Santa got word as to where we will be.
