White Christmas

While we didn't wake up to a White Christmas, we were lucky enough to end the day with one. What a beautiful way to spend Christmas night... sitting in front of the tree, cuddled on the couch, watching it snow out the window.

The next day, there was enough snow on the ground for us to bundle the boys up and head outside for some good, old-fashioned, frolicking in the snow! We tried sledding on the golf course, but neither Charlie nor Chase really appreciated the blast of snow in the face during the descent down the hill. Oh, well!

We did have fun throwing snow balls, making snow angels and building our very own Frosty the Snowman.

Here is a picture timeline of our  North Carolina White Christmas...

Isn't it beautiful?! The camera doesn't do it justice. 

Chase was a trooper! He seemed to really enjoy himself, although he absolutely HATED his mittens.

Charlie, getting ready to go sledding.

You gotta have the picture of your kid crying, right? It's a right of passage.

As soon as Mike started pulling the sled, Chase quieted right down.

Doesn't it look like they're in the middle of the woods?

Dad and Chase, watching the sledders.

Not sure why Chase was saluting, but whatever! As long as the sled was in motion, he was happy.

Doesn't the house look pretty?

Yes, the red car makes an appearance, even in the snow.

Dad, hard at work!

Charlie likes his snowman equivalent!

Making snowmen... this is when marrying a Yankee comes in handy.

Mike and Frosty.

Charlie's not sure what to make of it.

"Look, Charlie! I tackled and captured a dog!"

Frosty is the star of the show today.

Isn't he cute?

It's not very often we'll have a snowman this big in front of our house.

Chase, the Destroyer, ready to take Frosty down.

It's nice to live on a golf course when it snows.
Our house is straight ahead, directly through the trees.
