Icemageddeon

Ah - nothing like Christmastime in Arkansas.  one week it's coming an ice storm, and then a few weeks later, there's so much rain we're building an ark.  Two weeks ago, we headed south to stay with Mimi and Pops over the weekend.  Starting earlier in the week, the weather people were calling for an ice storm, and by Wednesday, the electric company said be prepared to be without power for 5-7 days.  Having no way to heat our house, we hit the road and headed south.

Mimi and Pops have gas logs, and if their power were to go out, we'd all load up and start driving further south.  Luckily it didn't get that bad, and we enjoyed time a restful time together before the holidays got in full force.

Of course we ate at Hoots on Friday night.  It was so yummy!  

Can you say spoiled?  Jackson gets his Mimi to feed him ice cream. 

We made cookies on Sunday night.  By this time we had just about run out of activities to do, so we made some peanut butter cookies. 

We went home on Monday morning to make sure the roads were all better, and we did have a little bit of ice left when we got home.  We never lost power, so we could have stayed at home the entire time, but I wasn't willing to take that chance.  Plus, it was a great break that allowed us to rest and enjoy our family.
