We finally got snow 2 weeks after Christmas January 8,2012.

Christmas day December 25, sunday-2011.

Picture taken Christmas morning 2011

    We did not have a white Christmas like I was hoping.  It was cold enough and we were all wishing for snow.  But it did not happen this year.
   Even though we did not have snow.  I loved Christmas this year, We got to attend Church at 9 am and the spirit was so strong today.  It was hard not to be emotional thinking of the events that led to the Saviors birth. It was wonderful to sing Christmas Hymns and the speakers were great.  I wished we could go to church every Christmas morning to set the stage for the true meaning of Christmas.

Chiquita got her Christmas presents too.  New coat and booties, cookies and new dog food.
