It's Starting to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

We have deliberately chosen to not get out all our Christmas decorations this year.  We leave in a week to head back to the US for the month of December.  We really would not get to enjoy the decorations very much (and we'd also have to find them first).  But this morning, we woke up and looked out the window (and what to our eyes did appear) but...

SNOW!

 

 Some of us had more fun playing in it than others.  For example, this one didn't think it was so fun.

"It's cold.  I'm dressed like a marshmallow.  And I can't even walk right in these boots!"

This one, however, enjoyed it thoroughly.  Thankfully, we convinced her to put her coat on before she went out.  She didn't think she would need it.

"Sitting doesn't make it any better.  I'd rather take a nap."

Chelsea met a friend.  He turned out quite a bit better than our Houston attempt at a snow man earlier this year.  I'm assuming you get better with practice.  I hear we'll get quite a bit of practice here in Hungary!

We're guessing we had 5-6 inches standing in the yard.  It was very beautiful.

I thought about how thankful the moving company was that they didn't have to move the grill up the hill to put it on the patio today.  It was bad enough without snow on the ground!

Quick game of tackle was thoroughly enjoyed.

Mom, aka conehead, also got to participate.  We'll be looking for a new hat for her Christmas present!

I made Chelsea a snow cone.  She didn't think it was that good.

And I end with this picture -- just to remind us how beautiful this is.  We may need to refer back to this post in about 4 months when we are tired of shoveling the driveway!

Merry Christmas everyone!  We even played Christmas music on our stereo today.  Hope you're Turkey Coma is beginning to wear off.

Gig 'em Ags!
