Yesterday, the weather here in my small Texas town was sunny and warm. The temperature was about 70 to 75 degrees. Then this morning, at about 9:30, I looked out my window, and what did I see? SNOW. That's right, snow. I couldn't believe it. Not only did we have a White Christmas Eve, but it snowed for close to about 6 hours. The wind got up and snow was blowing everywhere. We even had snow drifts. As far as I can remember, this is the first White Christmas I have ever experienced in my 31 years of life. It was definitely a Christmas Eve to remember.
I spent Christmas Eve with my mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and nephew. Christmas is so much for fun with children. My nephew is 17 months old and, though this isn't his first Christmas, it is the first that he can really participate in. It is amazing to watch him discover Christmas lights, the Christmas trees and the presents under the tree. I made a ton of decorated Christmas cookies. It was the best thing I have experienced in a long time to see him perusing the cookies on the plate, trying to decide which one he wanted. It was so worth all of the time I put into them.
Tomorrow morning we will open presents and stockings. I can hardly wait to see my nephew rip into his packages. There is just something so much more merry about a Christmas with a child you love; finding the perfect gifts, decorating cookies just for him and then watching the look on his face when he opens his packages. I'm charging my camera battery. I wouldn't want to miss a single photo opportunity.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and an amazing New Year. Get your resolutions ready everyone. It's almost that time of year.
