Christmas Cheer

Hello from snowy central Virginia! We got about 5 inches of snow on Saturday morning and it's completely beautiful and fun and COLD. Naturally, the kids are out of school today because the plows haven't come through any of the neighborhoods yet, and I'd be surprised if they went tomorrow. We've had a great time playing outside taking snowy quiet walks, sledding down the hill behind our house, doing a little snow wrestling, throwing snowballs, attempting to build a snowman, and making snow angels. I love snow! I'll post some of our snow photos later in the week. Today, I wanted to share some of our holiday photos, if you'd like to see. I chose "Christmas Cheer" as my December theme so we tried to have an extra dose or two of cheer as often as possible.
