Winter Wonderland

According to our neighbor's measurement, approximately 15 inches of snow has accumulated over the past week here at our apartment complex!! Olympia is not accustomed to this kind of weather...& neither are we after living in FL & So. Cal. for about 10 years! As you can see from the pictures, it is beautiful! We are planning to fly to RI tomorrow to begin our Christmas & New Year's visit with our families, but the forecast is predicting snow overnight & during the day tomorrow, so we'll see whether or not our flight makes it off the ground as scheduled. We're praying that we will make it to RI for Christmas Eve, but also praying that even if we don't, we will have a heart of gratitude & joy in our Savior...Who after all, is the reason for the season! He certainly didn't get to spend the first Christmas in a warm house with a delicious meal & cozy bed, so we hope that we can be thankful even if we have to spend a few extra hours in a crowded airport...sure beats a smelly stable!
