White Christmas?!

We almost had a White Christmas... shockingly it just came a few weeks early! Rolesville, NC has NEVER seen a snow this big and this early in December - at least not in the past 50ish years! WOW! Yesterday morning we woke up to 6 inches of snow! It was amazing and everything was white. It was so magical to have these views as we ate our breakfast in bed!

We jumped outside to play in it first thing in the morning. Blake was all about the snowball fights this year. He wanted to build a fort for protection and then throw the snowballs at each other. Haha. We did a pretty good job! We also broke out the sleds for a little bit of speedy fun down the driveway!

The fluffy snow didn't last long. As the day went on the temps got warmer and the snow turned to rain/sleet. This messed up the pretty snow a little but it was still nice to relax inside and play and watch movies!

Today is Monday and of course school was cancelled. Blake and I sat down to color in his Christmas coloring book, and we look outside to see it starting to snow AGAIN! My Memommy always said that Mother Nature brought the right weather when people needed to slow down and relax. I agree! This time of year gets busy for everyone and I think sometimes we just need to stop and slow down and enjoy the little things. This morning we are enjoying time together laughing, breakfast in bed, Christmas crafts, and movies. Just what we need in the middle of the month of December! (Now... who knows when we will go back to school but that is a different story... )
