On Christmas Eve, we went to the house of some of our friends, the Ringers. They live up in a more mountainous area, so naturally the driving is a little more treacherous. Well.... we were rounding a curve and we headed into the ditch! Thankfully, it's not a LARGE ditch, only about a foot and a half deep. But if any of you are winter drivers, you'll know that a ditch, no matter what size, is not easy to get out of. Thankfully, we had the camera with us. (I always take it along!) We took some pictures... hope y'all laugh with us!

The view. I don't know if you can see the clock, but it was 1:20. We were twenty minutes LATE!!!!
The car. And the ditch. Not a good combination. However, Joe ran up the road a bit to see if he could get to a neighbor's house and he ran into Mr. Ringer! Mr. Ringer had come out to the end of the drive way to meet us, and when we didn't show up he started down the road! Thank God!
Aha! A great idea (Roberta gets credit). Pack down the snow in front of the front tire in the ditch and lay sticks and logs across the snow leaning up towards the road. Voila! You are out!
Finally, we ate a warm Christmas Eve dinner and played carols for a while. Abby took this picture - rather nice for a five year old!
