Christmas Eve was spent at Urgent Care getting my allergy shots. Once that long ordeal was over my mom and I drove back to the RV to pick everyone else up for a late lunch at Buca di Beppo. We reserved the table in the kitchen. After lunch we went to the mall so that the kids could see Santa…

After Santa was a quick stop at a dollar store so the kids could buy gifts for the adults. Then we went to Christmas Eve Mass at one of the cathedrals downtown. When we came back home it was time to get in our new pajamas that Mrs. Claus had left while we were gone and set out snacks for Santa.

Nathan has pajamas as well but he won’t let me post the picture with him. :(

Tuesday our plans were to go to the zoo and visit their Christmas areas. However, we were hit with an ice storm and all of the roads were icy. We went as far as the first road out of the campground and the truck was fishtailing too bad so we turned around and decided to have a craft day in the warmth of the RV. First up were smore snowmen ornaments…

Next was boondoggle keychains….

Followed by potholders…

Things I like: It is open year round. It is close to Indianapolis. The owners are very nice.

Things I don’t like: Not much to look at. It is basically surrounded by fields.

I didn’t take a picture of our sites because I am not even sure if they had numbers on them.

Last night there was an ice storm. Today started with Nathan cleaning chunks of ice off of the rental car. He decided the one chunk looked like a good hat for me…

My mom’s friend Tom had a business meeting in Indianapolis this week so he stayed for a few more days so that he could visit with mom. While they were walking today they found a tree that was covered in ice and red berries. My mom wanted a picture so here is a picture of the tree and a close up of the berries.

While driving around we have seen beautiful horses that are used to plow the fields. We found out today that they are a type of Belgian draft horse. I tried to get a picture of a few in a field while driving by…

Finally when we arrived home I decided I needed a picture of all of the ice on the RV and a close up of the Georgia Southern license plate.

Nathan has been busy outside with the hair dryer trying to melt the ice off of areas like the slide and the windshield wipers because we are traveling tomorrow to Indianapolis for at least a week. The insurance check came today so everything is paid up with the repairs from the water damage. Thankfully they did not give us any problems with the repairs and paid everything except for our deductible and a small portion from depreciating the carpet and the electronics.

Earlier this year I saw some stickers that were Hannah Montana that were able to be stuck and removed without any damage. I told her that once her bed was put in we would buy them so she could decorate how she wanted. The boys wanted to decorate their spaces as well so Timmy chose Transformers and Joshua chose Cars.

Here is Joshua’s walls and ceiling…

Here are pictures of Timmy’s walls and ceiling….

and here are pictures of Samantha’s decorations….

The stickers have already been moved and rearranged at least 10 times. I think if they rearrange much more they won’t be sticky much longer. :)
