White Christmas

No need to dream of a white Christmas this year. Every time we went to celebrate with our family we got white Christmases like ones we have never seen before. Off to Grammy and Papa's for a couple days leading up to Christmas. We watched movies, played games, visited with friends, and made snow angels in over a foot of snow. On Christmas Eve we exchanged gifts and made the journey home to wait for Santa.

When we went to sleep the roads were clear and Avery made sure there were cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. When we woke up the food was gone, stockings were full, new presents were under the tree, and yes it was SNOWING making everything white outside.

After opening our gifts we made our way to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house. We picked up Uncle Nate and off we went. When we got there Nate and Gruncle helped clear the 13 inches of snow piled on the driveway(which had been cleared earlier in the week) to give everyone room to park. After clearing the snow we took a little time to do some sledding. We stuffed ourselves at dinner and opened gifts from under the makeshift tree.(Great grandpa had shoulder replacement surgery last week and we were not supposed to be at his house. However, it was the only house that the whole family could get to. Everyone pitched in and things turned out great!)

In a flash it is all over. Time now to unpack, organize our new clothes and toys, and relax before returning to school and work. The dream of a white Christmas is great but this year's snow might have been a little more the some may have hoped for.
