I'm Dreaming of a...

 You guessed it - A White Christmas! It hasn't happened in 128 years... The last white Christmas in Atlanta was in 1882! It was extra special for lots of reasons...

1. We were there to experience it.
2. It was Claire's first snow!
3. It was also Duke's first snow.  And...
4. As obvious as it is - It was a White Christmas!!!

That is something that people dream of (at least that's what the song says). The kids saw the first flakes begin to fall earlier in the day and the excitement began. Although those first flakes melted as soon as they reached the ground, the excitement did anything but melt. By the time we finished our Christmas dinner and opened presents there was a nice blanket of snow on the ground. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so I will save you from reading a few extra thousand of those and I will just share some of the photos from our snowy Christmas fun!

Audrey enjoyed the snow... although her nose turned quite pink! :)

Just one more on top will make it PERFECT!

See!  It's perfect! :)

Duke really enjoyed trying to catch the snowballs that the girls tossed up!

Photo of the Day - 12.14.09


It's not your award-winning type photo... it's just a photo that captured the day. We have been very busy getting ready for our trips to Cullman and Atlanta - shopping, wrapping presents, finding "cold weather" clothes and getting all of the presents for friends, teachers and neighbors ready and delivered... so you get the idea, it's been busy (like everyone else this time of year). Anyway, today after we got Duke from the groomer, everyone (Duke included) was ready for a much needed nap. I laid down with Claire for a minute and Duke snuggled at our feet. When I got up, he raised his head for a second and gave me a look that said, "I'm good here. I think I will rest a bit longer." That was about 30 minutes ago and Claire and Duke are still resting peacefully together. I just thought it was a cute snapshot and I wanted to share it with you.
