Christmas morning was cold but sunny. It was actually great for taking a family walk along the creek. Well, Steven and I were the only ones walking. The girls got new scooters for Christmas and the boy got a new bike. (An adult sized bike. Oh, my. He's getting so big.) So they were riding while we were speed walking to keep up. It was the highlight of my lovely Christmas day.
But right after dinner the weather shifted. Big wet snowflakes started falling to the ground. Although it made for a pretty winter sky, we went to bed thinking it wouldn't amount to much. We awoke to a wonderful surprise. A winter wonderland! Quiet and white and peaceful. It was beautiful. We got the first white Christmas that the Queen City has seen in 40 years. It was the perfect Christmas present for us all.
