This was the view out the front door of my house on Christmas morning.  While I remember a couple of Christmases where it snowed a little bit, I don’t remember actually waking up to a blanket of snow.  It was a gorgeous sight!  I was glad that everyone was coming to my house Christmas, though, because there would be no way I would drive myself anywhere in this!

As mentioned, my immediate family and my dad’s mom came over for Christmas dinner and gift exchanging.  Having a house to host dinners in is something new for this holiday season so I was excited to have everyone over.  I got some great gifts for Christmas.  My dad built me a dining room table that seats 8 with a bench that seats 3.

How were each of your Christmases?

Merry Christmas!

I hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My hope for each of you today is that you will have a great day spending time with your friends & family.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!  I love you!

I’d also like to wish all of my readers that are mothers or mothers-to-be a Happy Mother’s Day.

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!”

Shelby sent me a text message this morning with those words.  What prompted the song lyric quote?  Well, it’s snowing in northwest Arkansas today.  It started about the time I got up around 8 o’clock this morning and has been snowing and/or sleeting ever since then.
