Snow Storm of '09

A friend called this morning and as I answered, she said "Tell Samuel to stop praying for snow!!!" She was scheduled to fly out of town to visit family for Christmas today. That of course did not happen.

We have broken the record for the biggest snowstorm in December here in Central Virginia and Samuel couldn't be happier. We've had around 2 feet of snow!

It's been such a relaxing and fun-filled weekend, just like we imagined, but we can't forget the dozens of people who are stranded in their cars on the highway and the thousands of people who are without power. Fun for us, yes, but quite a different story for others.

With Aunt Juju, Papa Bear and Oma here we celebrated Christmas together tonight. This sure will be a Christmas to remember.

Joseph playing with his 'buckle board' that Papa Bear and Oma made for him. He's obsessed with it. Look at that thing. It's amazing!!!

They had to park on another street and walk all of the LARGE presents down to our house, which of course is the last one on the street. They were such amazing troopers fighting the blizzard weather to spend the weekend with us.

My sweet husband humoring me and measuring the snow for me. During this picture it measured 13 1/2 inches.



Just about the cutest picture I've ever seen! An aunt with her nephew... what a precious bond.

Joseph claiming that he's ready to go play in the snow! Look at those thighs.... I just want to BITE them :)

Corporate church has been cancelled tomorrow so we are hosting a neighborhood worship time at our house. I'm so excited! What a great way to finish off 2009!

Papa Bear and Oma are at a hotel tonight and are heading back in the morning, but since Aunt Juju's car is stuck under 2 feet of snow in our driveway and our road hasn't been touched, she's stuck here :) I think we're gonna convince her to just move in!!!

In other news... the boys' capes are done and I'm on to their car caddies! Pictures to come.
