A White Christmas

No more 'Dreaming of a White Christmas', we finally had one. December 11, 2008 marked a very rare occasion for our area. It started snowing around 4:45 am and didn't stop snowing until sometime around 11-11:30. It truly was such a beautiful thing to watch and even more special for us when it came time to play in the snow and attempt to build a snowman. We were sad that Philip wasn't able to be home with us, he had to work days so he didn't get to see good snow until he was on his way home that evening.

This picture was taken a few minutes after we realized it was snowing.


Our beautiful home covered with snow. Isn't it gorgeous ??

A shot of our patio area.

We went to Sonia/Jimmy's house around 9:30 because our power went out and I really didn't feel comfortable having the kids in an house with no electricity when the temperature outside was barely 30 degrees. So, once at Sonia's we all went outside and had a big snowball fight. Jimmy, Sonia, Tyler and I were freezing our bums off it was so cold.

Tyler didn't have any gloves so Sonia made him some herself. Lovely huh ??
