What started out as rain on Christmas Eve turned into snow, and left five inches with deeper drifts in our front yard.
That snow also ended up on the roads, leaving us stranded in Boyd and unable to drive to Snyder to be with my mom's family for the big day.
But, despite my missing family and sweet potatoes, we still had a fun day. I made Daniel trek out in the early daylight to get pictures, and as soon as gifts were unwrapped, we all fell into a deep slumber.
Santa didn't bring Caleb much this year (he already has so many toys and clothes - what else could we possibly get him?), but he brought just enough to keep him interested for a couple of minutes.
Once we woke up and ate a late lunch, we changed from our pajamas into some sweatshirts and took a hike through the snow. It was absolutely beautiful.
Later in the afternoon, we drove to Burleson to visit Daniel's brother and his family. Thank goodness the roads had cleared - we were just moments away from having mild cabin fever.
All in all, it was a great Christmas.
