Headed to McAlester on the 23rd to see the grandparents
Left on the 24th headed home….ended up in the Great Blizzard of ‘09
Roads closed! Spent Christmas Eve at a Motel 6 in Shawnee 
Christmas Eve Dinner at Denny’s with Mimi & Poppy
Santa was smart enough to toss gifts in the truck “just in case” we didn’t make it home
Santa’s elf called us and said he knew we were stranded…
Christmas breakfast with Scrooge
Got home at 2:00 on Christmas day
Played
Opened
Celebrated
...gave thanks for a safe trip home and a Christmas we will NEVER forget!
