My family had been planning to come down on Dec. 26 after church, but then, over the weekend, we learned that they were expecting up to 8 inches of snow! Sure enough, they woke up Sunday morning and were snowed in with about 5 inches. It was still snowing, and not expected to get above freezing all day. They had to cancel church, but were still just stuck in Ellerbe because of the roads. They called and said they would be down on Monday, as soon as the roads were clear enough.Then...it started snowing here! It wasn't cold enough to stick, but it snowed pretty heavily all day long. I took Gemma out to look at the snow, but she just stared at it. She wasn't sure what to think.
And then, around 1 pm, I got a call from my mom telling me to put the soup on, because they were on the way. They ended up taking a slightly longer route that used more mainstream roads, but they made it here safely. And then it was like Christmas all over again! There were tons of presents for Gemma of course. Her favorite was the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Kitchen, something that wasn't on her list that my mom had decided last-minute to get.
And of course, as usual with the Brown family, there were about as many gag gifts as there were real presents. Such as the oh-so-attractive 3D glasses and Rachel and I with our twin bump-its! We had so much fun!
