Snow Part 2

We decided to have some fun in the snow when Thomas got home from work. We made a little snowman in our front yard=) It stopped snowing for now, but it looks like it might start again tonight. The roads are closed to get out here, so it's nice that we don't have to go anywhere. We are going to spend the rest of the day watching movies and drinking hot chocolate=)

It's Snowing!

Thomas and I woke up this morning to snow! At first it was a very light snow and it was mostly melting by the time it hit the ground. As the morning went on it turned into a beautiful white snowfall. There is now a white blanket of snow covering everything. I can't wait for Thomas to get home from work so we can go outside and play in it=) He is on a 3 mile march right now and I'm sure he's freezing! His Regiment is going to spend the day visiting the Veteran's Home in Barstow for the holidays. I think it's really neat that they are doing that, but I just wish it could have been on a warmer day.

Getting in the Holiday Spirit!

After some debate, Thomas and I finally decided to get a Christmas tree this year. We invested in an artificial tree just to make things easier for us to clean up since we are getting so close to my due date. We spent our Sunday afternoon listening to Christmas music, drinking hot chocolate, and decorating the tree and our house. Thomas wanted to put lights on the outside of the house, so we stood outside, freezing our butts off, hanging the lights. Most of our neighbors have lights up so we didn't want to be the Scrooges of the neighborhood=) We had a lot of fun and I'm very thankful to have Thomas home this Christmas.
