Kaitlyn experienced her first snow storm on Christmas Eve in Texas of all places. Peggy and I spent a week visiting Peggy's parents down in Plano and last night we were in the mood for some real BBQ. Apparently, Rudy's (some gooood bbq)was open until 10pm. It began to snow pretty violently outside, so I called Rudy's to see if they were open on Christmas day (I mean, movie theaters are open, why not restaurants?). They were not. Since we were going to leave town the day after Christmas, if we wanted barbeque, Christmas eve would have to be it. We took out the SUV and braved the roads.
Now, I'm an experienced snow driver. Growing up in Wisconsin, I can deal with snow and ice. The only thing is that Texas drivers don't know a whole lot about driving in these conditions, so people make some stupid moves. We had a close call when a car in front of me totally hit the gas and spun out into my lane. Idiot. Good thing we had anti-lock brakes.
Needless to say, we made it to Rudy's and brought home some good food. In retrospect, we probably should not have gone out in the first place. It was way windy and way icy. What should have taken us 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back took us two hours round trip. Jenny, Peggy's sister, said, "I told you so."
Well, in other news, this morning, I woke up at 5 to feed Kaitlyn. We were doing our normal routine of eating and burping. The room was sort of hot, so I turned on the ceiling fan. Kaitlyn noticed the ceiling fan for the first time and just stared at it as it spun and spun around. She seemed fascinated. Nowadays, she loves staring at certain things, the TV is extremely fascinating to her, but we don't like her watching TV yet, so we constantly have to turn her back to it. Ceiling fans are ok.
