The electricity went out at about 6:15 AM. The kids must have been awake because we heard commotion in their room and several minutes later, the commotion ended up in our bed with us.
So, we got out our candles and had an "adventure".
Once it was light enough for us to make our way around the house without electricity we ventured outside and this is what we saw. It was absolutely beautiful!
We decided to not risk the drive to church, and bundled everyone up for a walk (or an ice skate) instead. Sam took a few falls,but recovered quite quickly.
Several trees were down in our neighborhood, but no real damage was done. 
Electricity came on at 11 o' clock...just in time to cook a nice warm lunch!!

those pictures are great! i love the way the ice looks on the tree branches and grass...stinks that it causes so many problems. i'm glad that it turned into more of an adventure than an inconvenience.
you should look online to see if there are any churches in your area with living nativities...i'm sure the kids would LOVE it!
ps-the note in your christmas card cracked me up!
Those are so beautiful. I love ice and snow pictures. And the candle one just captures warmth and adventure and cheer altogether. Love it!
