2009 also brought one of the snowiest Christmases on record. We were not hopeful about even making it back to SD, but when we woke up Christmas Eve and saw the weather was okay, we decided to try to head back. It actually ended up being just fine, the perfect break in the storm after receiving 6 inches the night before. Though not stormy, it was definitley still a white Christmas. I took a couple pictures on the trip (they're a little blurry since I just took them from the car).
I love how you can barely see the horizon. The sky and ground were nerely identical, we're thankful the wind wasn't blowing! 
We celebrated Christmas Eve in De Smet with the extended Widman family. It was a smaller crowd due to the weather, but still a great time of seeing aunts and uncles.Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the car.
We knew that we would be snowed in at Papa & Nana's on Christmas Day, so instead of opening gifts on the Eve like usual, we decided to wait an do it on Christmas. Here is Papa reading "The Night Before Christmas" to the grandchildren before bed.
Nana loves this picture:) But, reallywhat could be better than baby snuggles on Christmas Eve?!
