The roads were still bad so we decided to go late to Nana and Papas and then do our Christmas with them, have dinner and spend the night. The boys were so excited!
The roads were still icy, we tried to drive the Volvo to their house, were planning to park at the boy’s school and walk down to Nana/Papa’s house but the road scrappers had been through and we couldn’t get into the parking lot so Dee dropped me and the boys off to walk down their nasty, icy driveway while she drove back home to get a ride with Nana/Papa. The roads were decent except for their driveway, which was a slippery mess. Dee was stressed out about the sliding around in the car, I was stressed out about the sliding around while walking the boys down the driveway but she remembered the Jack Daniels! We settled in, poured a couple drinks and relaxed. The boys were jazzed that Santa came their as well. Trey rocked out with his new guitar and Levi was super excited to get his Spiderman umbrella.
We had a really nice night just hanging out with my folks, it’s not too often we get to do that. In the morning the snow hadn’t melted too much so the thought of actually getting out of the driveway wasn’t pleasant. Dee and I spent a few hours shoveling snow and ice and trying to at least make a path to drive out of. Let me tell you, I had no idea how long their driveway actually was! We did as much as we physically could, drove out without much issue and all was good. Today, we are SORE…but it was worth clearing the driveway for my folks!
