It's safe to declare that in my 27 years I, indeed, experienced my first white Christmas. It was beautiful. The snow started to fall around 4:00 on Christmas day and didn't stop until noonish on Sunday. As it started accumulating I couldn't believe it was actually Christmas Day! We left all the blinds open and watched the big flakes fall into the night while we played games and laughed together.
I stepped outside at one point to grab a few pictures and couldn't help but think about the words to "Winter Snow."
Could've have come like a mighty storm
With all the strength of a hurricane
You could've come like a forest fire
With the power of Heaven in Your flame
But you came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below
One thing that has absolutely blown my mind this Christmas season is the way that God decided to come to us. In all His glory he came humbly as a baby. The snow was a precious reminder on the day that we celebrate that our Savior came to rescue us.
The next morning Grey and Greer woke up so excited that there was snow outside! After a DELICIOUS breakfast of pumpkin pancakes prepared by Reagan, we suited up and headed outside. The snow brought out Grey's adventurous side to say the least. He had no fear. It was actually very strange to watch him in that state but made me giddy inside.
Lots and lots of snowball fights.
I had no doubt Tucker would enjoy the snow this year. He was too small last year to get into it, but this year he explored a bit. Luke was an onlooker in his daddy's arms.
What a fun way to spend the day!
