Snow for Christmas!

Yesterday was a Christmas Day for the record books. The newspaper this morning stated that Greenville, South Carolina hadn't had snow on Christmas for forty-seven years. My husband had never had a white Christmas in his life until it started to snow yesterday afternoon.

Watching the snow fall outside our windows as we sat down for our Christmas lunch was wonderful. It was a little like sitting inside a snow globe. For most of the afternoon and evening the snow fell, but did not stick to the ground. It looked like it would only add up to a slight dusting not nearly enough to play in.

This morning we woke up to a few inches of snow on the ground and damp roads. It was just the right amount of snow to play in and play we did.

After dressing JDaniel in snow pants, hiking boots, and a big winter coat my sister Kate had sent us in a hand me down box we headed out to play.

After almost an hour my husband and I were ready to come in from the cold and he still wanted to stay outside and play. JDaniel’s cheeks were bright red, but the rest of him was warm and toasty.

We promised JDaniel more time in the snow after lunch and a good nap. He wasn't happy about it, but he did finally agree to come in from the snow.
