I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

After breakfast it started snowing!!!  WOO HOO!!! A White Christmas!!

Look!  It's snow!  I couldn't believe it was sticking.

Max all ready to go out in the snow for the first time. (We don't own snowpants or snowboots - we live in Texas after all!)

The kids checking out the snow.

Max wasn't sure what to think.

Catching snowflakes on their tongues - Landen, Hayden, and Kaitlyn

The snow kept coming!!!  Look - the grass is covered!


Sisters!

The snow is piling up.  I can't believe it keeps coming.

...and it kept coming!  Now the sidewalks and street are covered!

Man, Christmas is messy!

We got to the point where everyone started checking out each other's presents. 
Tyler played with Kaity's robot.

We had our traditional Christmas dinner with potato soup, rolls, and HoneyBaked Turkey and Ham.


Love my sweet son!

I think these two have missed Uncle Joe.  :)

Family pic!

So grateful for my family and our home.

Brave enough to touch it!  (He didn't touch it after this.)


Love this girl.  She's getting so old!

Don't Christmas lights look good when they are next to snow?

The snow was deep enough to cover Hayden's foot.

Hayden, Kaitlyn, and Kimberly

Brrr!  It's windy!

Landen, Brittany, Hayden, and Joe

The snow was definitely not good Utah snow - Joe's snow angel just moved the snow around.

Hayden got into the snow angel action too.



I laugh at how excited we were earlier in the day when it was barely covering the ground.  At that point, we thought that was all we were going to get!  This type of snow happens maybe once a year or every two years in Dallas.  And the fact that it happened on Christmas day, when all my family was staying in my house, just made it so special!

This is how Christmas night should be - quiet, calm, and hanging out with your family.

We Skyped with family today.  We got Max to blow a kiss to Alex - he's never done that before!  What a fantastic Christmas it's been!
