Very Merry Next Day

I was dreaming of a whiiiiiite Christmas, just like the ones I used to know... er, not so much- I grew up here in North Carolina, people; I read/heard somewhere that the last "white Christmas" NC had was in the mid-1960's!! It came late in the day but that still counts. I think we ended up with roughly 7, yes, seven inches of snow! Our pups had a blast playing in it the next morning! {Of course, Bella girl loves it}

View of our house from the street

Icicles hung from the roof {yes, 1/2 of our house is grey, 1/2 is still white primer = project #1 to be completed when the weather warms up!}

Autumn loves laying under the trailer

We ventured out to see how bad the roads were:

Hwy 70

Interstate 40

Perry drove, I took pictures

We made it safe & sound to Mom & Paul J's!! My brother Jason came as well but none of my step-siblings could make it to Chapel Hill. We exchanged gifts (white elephant/clean "dirty" Santa ones too!) and enjoyed each others company.

Poor Paul wasn't feeling good

Zena!

Modeling my new ruffled shawl

Perry's beautiful knife set

Jason's new watch

Jokie boy loves laps

Mom & her yellow Nine West purse: she's so stylish!

Trying to get puppy kisses from Zena

*Smooch*

Laughing about Jason's "gag gift", a kid's tooth-brushing set. Mom loved it though!

"No penguins?!" {I reused an insulated box from when my Dad gave us deer meat & veggies from his garden. Illiterate people will know that you should not freeze whatever is inside the box... Hah! The words "refrigerate, do not freeze" do the trick otherwise.}

I got a Snuggie LOL

Mom & I being silly with the gigantic blanket with gigantic sleeves and gigantic pockets

It makes you look crazy TALL!

I have no idea what we were going for here...
