White Christmas

We never expected this! What a truly magical day we had. Doesn't every child wish for snow on Christmas? When it started to fall, we were in the middle of lunch. The children dropped their spoons and began running from window to window almost in disbelief. When they realized that the snow was falling outside every window, it was time to go outside......

John, Samantha and Jasper made a cheerful little snow person complete with rosemary hair and a carrot nose. I suppose Samantha didn't get enough lunch as I caught her snacking on our new friend!

By the end of the day, the snow was only a memory as it began to disappear right before our very eyes. Thank you Father Winter for a preview of what is to come; snow angels, sledding, snow forts and a truly tranquil and stunning landscape. Merry Christmas all!
