I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas

For the first time I can remember, it snowed in the NW on Christmas morning. Any other year we would have been deliriously happy. This year was more like, "Oh look, it's snowing again." After days of snow, missing family get-togethers, and cancelling church services it didn't seem nearly as magical and dreamy somehow.

by the time we were done with presents the branch

was touching the window

most of our bushes didn't do very well

neither did Goliath

he's starting to lean

but the trees were beautiful!

so was the neighbor's roof

the boys built a new addition on their fort

But it was pretty and we had a wonderful Christmas morning! We got all kinds of great gifts, had our favorite breakfast of egg nog baked french toast with bacon, and got to play in the snow before it stopped.
