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!"
