Our plan for Sunday the 26th was to sleep in, and head down to Rhode Island for lunch and gifts with the Lippman side of the family. It's always a lovely and relaxing day. But, the huge blizzard heading our way forced a small change of plans. Not wanting to miss out on seeing Auntie Jen, Uncle Devan and Cousin Eva, who were only in town for a couple of days, we decided to get up early and head down to Rhode Island as soon as possible. The snow was expected to pull in around noon or 1pm, and we didn't want to drive in a storm. So, we packed the kids in the car around 8am and drove through some light snow to get to Grammy and Grampy's house by 10am. Unfortunately, this only gave us a couple of hours to open gifts and eat, leaving almost no time for relaxing and chatting.
But, despite the rushing we were very happy to make it down before the storm so that we could see our family. We had fun exchanging gifts, and Grampy made a roast that was to die for. The drive home was fine after the first hour, which was snowy and slick. We literally drove right out of the storm, and it chased us all the way home. We were home with just enough time to grab some milk and bread from the store (yes, seriously) before the storm moved in ultimately leaving us more than a foot of snow. It was a very New England way to end Christmas.
