Well, we received our first snow on Tuesday and it really came in with a bang! I have gotten to the point that when the weather men/women start in several days before the storm comes with their warnings, I completely tune it out! Blah Blah Blah. But...this was a real live snow storm out of the south west...kind of like a thunderstorm..when it comes from that direction, get ready for a little action!
It really snowed and blowed on Tuesday. Of course on Monday it was 68 with serious WIND....By Tuesday it's 30 and dropping and just as windy! We ended up with 3-4 inches I guess. But it was nice and icy underneath...even at a crawl in the van, I could hardly stop. Last night coming home, JB got rear-ended by a teenager in an SUV....JB stops traffic at one of the busiest lights in town and gets out...it looked as if our hitch got hit(not bad) and maybe saved our bumper...the kid never got out, asked if anything was ok----NOTHING! Oh well, His momma would probably not be proud. Thank God no one was hurt and no damage was done.
My boys were soooo excited about the snow...CB even played in it for awhile last night in the dark! Tuesday they couldn't wait to get home and sled...it was such a wet snow, it didn't work out like they planned, but they had fun.
I am participating in another swap...my cousin in Georgia organized this one. A Holiday swap. So I've got my box together and going to mail it in the next day or two...Erin, be on the lookout!
JB and I are hoping to Christmas shop tomorrow...not sure if its going to work out..but we're getting into a time crunch and I really dislike shopping in the big city this late---it's sooooooo busy and people are not always the nicest. They have totally forgot the reason for the season.
I have not yet done my Pass It On challenge...I will, God will show me what I need to do and I'm patiently waiting for the opportunity! Have a great day!!

We still have a skiff of snow on the ground. Yeah that wind was sure something! Still working on my "challenge" - going to town today - may be the fact I don't strangle somebody will fulfill my challenge! ha!
Wowzers, that's a good dousing of the white powder! We haven't had a good snow in a few years, just ice. I'm hoping it stays away this winter! :) Good luck shoppin', I still have some to do. Blech.
We have MORE snow then that here and a lot of ice yesterday and today too. I totally feel the same way about shopping during the Christmas season...rude people make me crabby! I guess we will have to go into town tomorrow as we are to get a blizzard over the weekend!!! Have a good evening....
I love the first snow of winter! I turn into a kid instantaneously. Our little bit of snow hung around for the day - I'm ready for more!So glad no one was hurt in the fender bender. And I am enjoying the Christmas Challenge! It's just so much fun!
I wish I would have known about the swap. I think I am addicted! I am looking for ways to do your "challenge". Thanks for the idea.
Awww! I wish we could get some!

Sorry you guys are sick! Sore throat and feeling puny just isn't a way to start Christmas break :/ Praying you all have a speedy recovery and no one else catches the bug!
