And here we thought snow would not happen for us this year since we weren't in NW Arkansas! To our shock, surprise and thrill, we awoke to huge, gorgeous snowflakes this morning. The good, wet kind that look beautiful (but don't cause road problems). Lowery was very excited - actually, we all were! What is it about snow that's so magical? We were all running around the house at 7am crazy, like we had never seen it before. But it was beautiful and a special treat. We decorated our Christmas tree last night. We were to go to Springdale to get Christmas decorations from the house last weekend, but after our very tough Thanksgiving week we just didn't have the energy. So we decided to let Lowery pick out a live tree and decorations herself. BAD move. We of course ended up with rainbow lights, hot pink and blue ornaments. And no star or angel for the top, she is making a special craft herself for that. It was tough for us to let her pick out everything, but we had promised. So, we decked the halls last night while listening to Christmas music on XM. And get this - while we were listening, a man called in from Dallas, Texas and said he wanted to wish his parents in Springdale, Arkansas a Merry Christmas. What are the odds? It was a fun night, topped with the special snow this morning. We are definitely in the Christmas spirit - and surprise, more snow is expected for Friday!! Who said we don't have winter here in the Big D? So far, so good!!
I'm SO behind on blog reading! I LOVE your tree! We let the big boys decorate their own trees in their rooms and let me tell ya, they are LOVELY!! But, they truly think they are great!! How are you?? I think about you all the time, unfortunately it's usually somewhere around 2am, and I'm pretty sure you don't want me to call then :) We've got to talk!!
