White Christmas

Of all the things that I wished for for Christmas, this is what I received. A white Christmas. You can see how much we have gotten and actually, I should have taken these yesterday when there was more snow. It started melting this morning and now those lights in front of the house are completely uncovered. After the first snow, they were barely peeking out from under the snow. We have been getting a drizzling mist and fog today. The driveway is almost all clear again. I hope it melts completely before it freezes into a sheet of ice.

As you can see, I also posted pictures of my first try at a gingerbread house. I bought one of those gingerbread kits at WalMart. I thought it would be fun for the girls to put together on Tuesday when they were home from school. Unfortunately, my plans didn't work out. Koree spent the night with a friend the night before and didn't get home until later in the afternoon. Heather and Hallie went early to their mother's for their Christmas there. They didn't get back until after 10 on Christmas Eve. Tyler and Koree didn't get back on Christmas eve afternoon from their dad's until I was almost done with the house and then we needed to get ready for church.

It is not a very good house as I was in a rush and no one was there to help me. I know what I may do different next time if there is a next time.
