Christmas at mom and dad's was very eventful! We had to do some running around in the morning get some stuff that we had forgotten so already the day was off to a rocky start. Then we started cooking everything and the power kept going out. As we finished off the desserts and got the ham in the oven (while waiting for the rolls to finish rising mind you) the power decided to go off and stay off completely. It was out for a few hours and we decided to call Steve and have him come over so we could open presents early while their was still some light in the house. The boys had never been without power before so it was an experience for them. Owen asked Aunt Amanda how long the power was going to be out and she told him the story about when we were little and the power was out for 11 days. His got HUGE and he said "What, 11 Days are you kidding?" Needless to say at that point he was freaking out at the thought of no cartoons for 11 days. The power did come back on after 4 hours and we warmed the rest of our dinner up. Despite the power outage it was a great day. Everyone got really nice Christmas gifts and it was nice to just be together and enjoy each others company.
