White Christmas

For the first time in my 22 years, we had a white Christmas. I really hate cold weather, and snow, but it is so pretty. I hoped that the weathermen would be wrong, and that it would bypass us somehow. Saturday morning, mom woke me up opening my curtain to tell me there was a blanket of snow on everything. My reaction, "You have got to be freakin' kidding me." She wasn't. It was flat out beautiful though.

Saturday morning we opened gifts at home. After a little bit of playing and cleaning, we got ready to go to my grandmother's for breakfast. The roads were so bad, that my cousin who lives in Nashville was too afraid to risk the drive. My uncle from Birmingham went ahead and took on the slushy roads, and made it safe. We ate and opened gifts. Then, Miss Hannah Grace was ready to go outside and play in the snow. They built a big snowman, and a Little Hannah Grace snowman haha! It was really cute, and she really enjoyed it. And now, for some pictures:

I love snow-covered Cedar trees!

You can barely see the road! 

Almost 5 inches, and we ended with 5 1/2 inches

It's knee deep on the poor girl!!

She kept saying, "I sit down in the snow, Mommy."

 The day after Christmas, there was enough snow to go sledding. It was so cold, and the wind had picked up, so that wasn't helping. We only got to stay out for about an hour. It was so much fun though. We haven't been sledding in about 10 years, maybe longer.

So this Christmas was pretty awesome. The snow is still here today, but not as much. Hopefully the roads will be cleared enough for me to go to work tomorrow!!
