The Schwertner's Family Christmas!

MaMaw and Cole. More pics of the family to come.
Highway 287 between Vernon and Wichita Falls.
This Christmas will be a Christmas we'll never forget. We headed out to Childress on Dec. 23 to have Christmas with the Pierces(Justin, Janet, Cole and Natalie). We planned to go on to Plano on the 24th(Christmas Eve) to spend Christmas with Jessica. Unfortunately the weather made a turn for the worse. We stayed an extra night at the Pierces in hopes that the weather would clear up in the morning of Christmas to on to Plano. While there we attended Christmas Eve mass with them and got to see the happy faces of two little ones on Christmas morning. On Christmas afternoon we decided to go to Plano. Stopped to get gas and some lunch at the Allsup's. We left Kimmy our dog in the car and guess what. She locked us out. We did not know what to do. Our smart son in law asked if we had OnStar, in which we do and it worked. Thanks Justin!! The road between Childress and Vernon was clear. We were so excited that we had a great clear road to travel onto Plano. But to our surprise we ran into some ice/snow and very slow moving traffic 8 miles before we got to Iowa Park. Instead of taking only two hours to get to Wichita Falls it to us 6. Highway 287 was so bad that we decided to pull over and stay at a hotel. Our luck kept getting worse. Every restuarant was close on Christmas Day, so we settled for some sandwiches from the Stripes Conveniece store. Funny now but not at the time. So I give you permission to laugh now if you'd like. The Chinese buffet was open but we didn't eat there. If we would have we would have ordered duck. hee.. The next morning we decided to come on back home instead of attempting to travel to Plano. Our hearts were broken that we wouldn't get to see Jessica but we had to think about our safety. We will have Christmas again when we do see Jessica again.
Like I said before this will be a Christmas we will NEVER forget!!
