One For The Record Books

We were blessed beyond measure with a wonderful white Christmas this year. Here in Lexington, the last Christmas with measurable snowfall was in 1969. This year's snow beat the record set in 1947. I'd say we received about 4 inches at our house.


No mantle, so the cocktail table had to do!


Funny this was left since we don't incorporate Santa....wonder who was the culprit?

We had our third annual Christmas breakfast with the Young's. Good times.


Our big family present is our upcoming trip to Disney World and Universal Studios. We hit the road on January 12th and will return on the 2oth.

We're ready to hit the parks with our t-shirts and mouse ears!

We went to Jake and Kelly's Christmas night and anticipated the snow that was on it's way. Our relatives from Hickory were supposed to drive down but they already had 3 inches of snow on the ground by early afternoon. They chose (wisely so) to stay home. Here's my dad with 5 of his 7 grandchildren. Jonathan and his family stayed in Richmond this year.

My dad's been battling a kidney stone but felt well enough to join us.

The snow was quickly beginning to fall about 8:00 so it was time to head home.


Here's our house when we returned Christmas night.

By the next morning it was a winter wonderland. It was time to go play since church was canceled.





















The Young's yard has a better hill so we trudged over there and hit the sleds.

Corinna's friends Sophia and Kaitlyn stopped by on their way back to Apex. We ended our snowday as the Young's came over with a big pot of homemade vegetable beef soup. This was certainly a Christmas and day after Christmas to remember!
