White Christmas!

We actually had a white Christmas this year! So exciting! Since Oklahoma weather never seems to quite live up to expectations, I wasn't confident that the predicted storm would turn into anything fun at all. But I'm so happy I was proven wrong! Officially, we had a blizzard! It sleeted a bit, and then tiny ice chips were blown all over, and then it snowed!! It was also extremely windy. And it snowed a lot.

So here are some pictures from Christmas day. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of the car getting stuck. And I'll have you know, it really only got stuck because our poor sedan wasn't made to drive through drifts more than a foot deep. We high-centered on the drifts. My only real assistance was the extra weight in the car. Ah, well. It made for a nice bonding experience and our home teacher was able to rescue us (in his niftly Jeep with 4-wheel drive) and bring us home to sleep in our own comfy bed (complete with excessive cushy pillows!).

Here is my handsome man beginning to shovel the drive. (We had to borrow the shovel.)

I just thought these drifts looked pretty cool. The snow wasn't sticky at all, so the wind was quite artistic.
