Stop #2 was a visit with my family in Oklahoma. Of course the house was a Christmas extravaganza. We enjoyed typical OKC cultural activities, such as Christmas shopping in 60 degree weather, introducing Grandad to atomic salsa at our favorite Tex-Mex restaurante, and looking at the technicolor light shows in neighborhoods nearby.
The girls all got Uggs, to keep our tootsies warm.
Tucker the dog got lots of attention.
He's a little smaller than his nephew, Moose.
Also a little easier to corner for pictures. Babushka Tucky.
Grandad and his girls.

What can it be?
When I arrived in Oklahoma, I was still trying to recover from the icy blasts of Wheaton weather, so I layered on my scarf, coat, gloves, and boots to brave the outside. Within an hour the temps had climbed to 64 degrees and I was SLIGHTLY overdressed. It was a nice change from below-freezing!
But that all changed. Late Tuesday night the newscasters started to warn us of blizzard-like conditions. I was slightly worried that my 6AM flight out would be delayed by the weather. When we left for the airport, it was raining a bit and I got out just fine. By the time I arrived in Nashville, my mom called with the news that it was snowing! Oklahoma City had its first white Christmas in over 60 years!
And I missed it.
But my family sent me some pictures. They played outside all day.
