Christmas Day we had lots of ice topped off with snow. Our power went out about 4:00 that afternoon. Luckily, I had already made a huge pot of chili. About two hours later, it came back on just long enough for us to eat dinner and shower (since I have a well, I don't get water when there's not electricity). By 10:00 it was out again and that's the last time we had power.
I have a fireplace so keeping warm wasn't a problem. Kev split some wood and we were good to go. I pulled the camping cookware down from the attic. I cooked sausage, eggs, and toast for breakfast.
Warmed chili up for lunch. And made grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches for dinner.
I even pulled some cookie dough from the freezer and grilled cookie dough. We had to flip them like pancakes to cook them thoroughly, but they we delicious.
After sleeping on the mattress in front if the fireplace and still no power, we got the ok from his dad to bring all the animals out to his land. Kevs house is located behind his dads. So we packed up and headed out. Picture below. It is so nice to be able to take a hot shower and have heat. Last nights low was 20!

Temperature with a roaring fire. Without it dropped 10 degrees.
Loaded and ready to go.
Nothing like a hot shower and warm bed.
