Well today started off great! Woke up, got ready, got everything packed, light snow falling...what could go wrong?! We had everything loaded in the car, ready for our trip to SC. Michael gets int he car turns the key and....nothing. Tries again, nothing. Not even a click. Everytime he turns the key though, certain things come to life. The radio would come one, the dome lights would brighten up, and then some gauges would flip to where they were suppose to be. After a half hour of jumping the SUV, it started. We got on the road. We hit 86th street and all the lights and gauges turned off. Talk about scary. By this time the weather wasn't the greatest. It happened 3 more times and each time something wouldn't come back. We got off on Merle Hay and headed to Firestone. I called my parents immediately and they came and picked us up. Our heroes! Now the trip up to SC, not the greatest. I had to drive my parents car. A car, I haven't driven a car....well in a while. Plus my mom, well, she tends to freak out and boss you while you drive. Oh well. We made it, alive.
The rest of the afternoon was spent over indulging and 4th helpings! It was a lot of fun being with the whole family. This is the first time in a while that all grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, great grandkids were all able to be together. It was a full house. We did attempt a family photo...that should be interesting to see how those turned out. We just aren't sure what is ahead in the new year for our family. I hope at this time next year, we will be the same. You just never know.
Jake was very good. For not having a nap and with all those people, he was extremely well behaved. That kid always pulls through! He made bank with kisses and gifts! We are so blessed with our family!
On our way home we were able to pick up our car. All fixed! Turns out our battery was dead! All better now!
