Let it Snow?











We had our first "snow day" of the winter today. We had about 1/4 inch of snow on our driveway and that's it, but Sarah and I sure had a great time staying home and relaxing for the day! Naps all around! We played in the "snow" twice and Sarah learned how to make snow angels. She was so cute and I just can't wait for one day when she can experience real snow (not sure where or when but hopefully one day!) and build a snowman.

We all had a fabulous Christmas, got wayyyy too many toys and gifts, and enjoyed spending so much time with family. Now that Jeremy and I are both teachers, I guess we will be able to enjoy a nice Christmas vacation each year(and hopefully summer vacation too--we'll see)! Jeremy's parents came to our house Christmas Eve, so we got to spend Christmas Eve with the Grants (my mom's side) and the Gulleys, and then we were all back together on Christmas Day for lunch. The next day, Jeremy and I got to go out to dinner to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary! Then, we got up Sunday morning to go to Greenville to visit some more with Mimi and PawPaw and with Uncle Joal and Aunt Alecia. We had a busy time but it was so much fun!

We had a quiet New Year's Eve here--Jeremy and my dad spent the whole day putting in flooring in our attic, a much needed "addition" to our house. Sarah went to spend the night with my parents, and Jeremy and I spent hours and hours and hours moving everything from the bonus room (was the junk room) to the attic and then setting up a "real" office room in the bonus room. We still have some work to do but it's looking pretty good! I think Jeremy's handyman skills are improving quite a bit thanks to some excellent "mentoring" and lots of trial and error :-)
