Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve it snowed and snowed and I was thankful
that I didn't have any where to go since the roads were
awful and my parents lane was worse.
Aunt Becki was brave and ventured out and upon her return
she pulled into the lane and its normal for you to fish tail down the hill
(at the top of the lane)that spits you out onto the dam....

As Aunt Becki fish tailed down the hill and attempted to
cross the dam she did a little off roading and ended in the gully.
Her other options on the other side of the dam...

the lake. She didn't feel like swimming so went gully side:)
(yep thats my dad out on a blizzard day with just his jeans
and a long sleeve shirt...no coat... no boots...)

as Aunt Becki and Dad argued about what "really" happened

I just smiled to myself thinking of what I will go out in
to get a blog post.

Since there was no way the truck could be driven out and
we didn't want it to slide any further down the gully and
into the creek

so ropes and chains were gotten out of the barn

and phone calls were made to find a tractor that had 4-wheel drive.
(a perk to living right by cnh and having a cousin that has
access to their big tractors)

once the truck was chained up

and dragged across the gully it was finally pulled out and we were
able to drive it back to the house.

A few hours later we got a call from my other Aunt who was stuck
in the snow a few miles away and needed help out too:)

Praising Jesus for the safe arrival of everyone in time for Christmas!
