christmas and snow

Well, Christmas is over and we had an almost white Christmas. Almost as in it started snowing when it was too dark to really see..

I happily spent the day with my lovely family. We opened gifts (many of them homemade), piled our plates to the very brim, shot each other with spud guns, and loudly cheered when the first snowflakes began to fall. We finished the day with a movie that I got for this year. The Long, Long Trailer is possibly the most humorous movie I've ever seen.

I hope your Christmas was full of many happy things!

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11

This past week I, along with my family, traveled to Texas to see family.  We baked cookies and pies, ate at quaint cafes, talked, laughed, and ate way too much sugar.  Let's just say my 1200 calorie limit has been exceeded many times this week..

But that's just part of Christmas time, right?

P.S. My apologies for the dark quality of some of these pictures.  I had my camera set on a quirky setting.
