Merry Christmas Eve Blizzard!

Above: The view from my parents' front door. We could barely see the house across the street because the snow was blowing around (48 mph winds)! I wonder what our house in Wichita looks like! Speaking of our house, I made a gingerbread version of it (our side of it, at least) and gave it diamond-pane windows, which it really ought to have, if you ask me.
I also decorated a lot of gingerbread men (and ladies, too). My dad and I spent most of the afternoon making and decorating cookies. It's a good thing we didn't have to go anywhere, because the weather has made us pretty much housebound. Paul heard that the governor is having the highways cleared. Hopefully we can get home!

Coming up: Find out what how my Christmas pudding and mincemeat turned out, celebrate Twelfth Night with us, and cross your fingers that my haggis for Burns Night turns out OK.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
