Snow. Beautiful Snow.

We have snow. Yeah baby! We got about 4 inches of snow and 1 inch of sleet on top of that. It's very pretty. The temp. is 24* so it should stick around for awhile. We have power and no problems here. We plan to stay home and play in the snow.

The mountains in N.C. have it worse. Lots of power outages and more snow. It's even bad in Raleigh where one of my sons live. I love the snow but hope that everyone stays warm and safe.

A New Year

Christmas has come and gone. We drove almost 900 miles over the Christmas weekend. I think I am still recovering. We were so tired but it was great to see all of the family for Christmas this year.
We went and saw Matt in Raleigh. He looked really good.We went to see a movie.That's part of our Christmas tradition. This year we saw Sherlock Holmes. We really liked the movie. Tim liked the movie so much he went and saw it again with his uncle and cousins.
We spent the day with Matt. I wish we could have stayed longer,but at least we got to see him.I talk to him on the phone at least once a week and we text but momma needed to hug her baby:)
After seeing Matt we drove back home,went to sleep,got up early to catch some of the after Christmas sales.We didn't really find a lot of bargains this year.
The next part of our 900 mile trip was to Asheville to see Josh,Leia and Atticus.We exchanged presents,ordered some pizza,talked,laughed,heard their horror stories about the big snow and no power for 2 days.That's really hard to get snowed in with no power,when you have a 17 month old.I am glad they have a wood stove so they at least had some heat.
This year has been crazy with the cold and all of the snow that they have had.
The next part of our 900 mile drive was to Dandridge Tenn. We had our family Christmas party at my mom and dads house.My sisters and brothers came with their kids.We exchanged gifts,ate some really good food,laughed and just had a really good time with the family.
Then we drove home.It was an amazing Christmas. Everyone is doing well.They are healthy and happy.It has been a good year.
