It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, sort of!

As the snow was (and still is) falling outside our window, we decide that we needed to do a little holiday decorating. Now, in an effort not to pack the entire house for this journey, we didn't bring any of our Christmas stuff with us. But thanks to our friends and family we have pieced together a little holiday cheer.

We have lined up baby and Christmas cards on the frame of a picture that is hanging on the wall. Our friends at the Zoo sent a beautiful flower arrangement, it just happens to have some evergreen branches in it...so that is working as our decorated tree (flowers make great ornaments, don't you think!) Nana brought Isaac his first stocking, amazing how fast she got that together! And Garret supplied the cookies for Santa.

So we should be fairly set for the big day! The only thing to worry about now is the snow! It sounds like this may be the storm of the century (according to local weather people...Jay, Merrill and who ever is at CH3 are not alone in their dramatics) it has been since 2000 that folks around here have seen snow on Christmas. And we are talking a lot of snow at this point! They are predicting 6" to 8" inches, and highways are closing left and right down here! We've also heard quite a few emergency personnel whizzing by outside our hotel, not good.

At this point it is looking like Grandma Mary & Grandpa Jack are not going to make the trek down here until Saturday, maybe the afternoon of Christmas day if we are lucky! We talked to Papa Steve today and they are going to watch things pretty carefully and make the call a little later. We want everyone to be super safe, no matter when they come to visit. It won't be any fun for Isaac if his family gets stuck in a huge snow drift on I-35!
