White Christmas in Mount Hope 2010



White Christmas 2010



It was so Beautiful. In 36 years I never remember a white Christmas, but this year we got one. It was perfect and unsuspected and magical and exciting and white...it was soooo white!
MiMi and PaPa spent Christmas Eve night with us as they usually do. They love to be here when the children get up and see their presents. This has became one of our most special traditions. Christmas Eve night is usually spent at Nanny and PaPaw Jerry's house with Uncle Rodney, Chase and Amanda...then it's home to prepare for Santa. There are cookies to bake for him and carrots and lettuce for the reindeer. Lot's of times we watch a Christmas movie with MiMi and PaPa all snuggled on the couch, but this year we didn't. MiMi always cooks a big Christmas morning breakfast then we play the rest of the day. It is such a joy to watch you kids play and interact and be happy. It brings peace to my soul when I can see you and touch you and smell you and know that each of you are safe and well. This Christmwas was especially wonderful because of the Beautiful snow. I was mesmerized with it and Brock asked me, "Momma, what's so great about the snow, that's all you can talk about." I replied, "I have never once in 36 years remember snow on Christmas Day...and 5 inches of it at that!"

About Me

My photo
I blog because i am a relentless diary keeper. I write. I have always written. i love to write and scribble. not the greatest speller, but I love to write down my thoughts and feelings. Life is short. very short. I have a home awaiting me in heaven. i haven't earned that home by any means, but it was promised to me the day i accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as My Savior. There is a time to be born for each of us and there is a time to die for each of us. I pray that I live to see my Children grown and Prosperous by Heavenly standards, but if i do not My children will always have these words from my heart. God has blessed me beyond anything I ever imagined or deserved. My children have given my life meaning and happiness. I have so much I want to tell them...teach them...explain to them... I cannot leave this world without them knowing these things on my heart. This blog is for my Children and If should leave this world unexpectedly I want you knuckle heads to know that I am your Mother, I love you, and I expect to see each of you In Heaven one day...SEE that you make it. that should be your focus in life my sweet babies, and if it isnt..then i have failed as a mother...
