Wow, we have been having fun with the weather here in Oklahoma. We are sure glad that Gary installed our gas fireplace on Thanksgiving day. Here is a photo. We think it looks nice, but more importantly it provides heat. Our home is over 80 years old and it does not have central heat. It has worked to our advantage this week as we have lost half of our power due to the ice storm.
Here are some pictures of the damage to our house. A large icy tree fell on the power lines, it pulled the lines down and some of the brick with it. We are sure lucky to have a mason in the family. Gary's son Logan came down and repaired the loose bricks. Now we need to get an electrician to hook the wires back to the house. So, we have power to the living room and one outlet in the kitchen. I have been cooking everything in the crock pot. We are also lucky to have a gas stove. I am able to cook on the stove top. We have run an extension cord from the one good plug to the refrigerator. So we are all set. I will admit it will be nice when we don't have to play this game anymore.
Brayden sure loves his family. we miss you all and will see the salt lake clan at Christmas time. Love you lots. Have a great week. 
Here are some cute pix of Brayden all bundled up for winter. See you soon.
