We wore short sleeves yesterday afternoon, laughed about the weather at Christmastime, and snickered over the "dry heat".
This morning, we awoke to two inches of snow and still coming! There are drifts over six inches deep and the boys are torn between wanting to play in the snow or make gingerbread houses....
snow, or help Granny make cactus jelly (we have been out for quite a while...)
snow, or hot chocolate...
Decisions, decisions!
So, Mom's required course of action- snow, hot chocolate, gingerbread houses, jelly. More snow, decorate the tree (which is currently buried in the snow).
One of Zorak's cousins will be over this afternoon. She and her husband have three boys- almost all of them are the same ages as our boys. James and their oldest are only a few weeks apart. John and their middle boy have a couple of months difference. Then the Smidge and their youngest are just a few days apart. We haven't seen them since the oldest babies were three months old!!! I am so excited, and sure hoping the boys have a blast playing together.
Alrighty, we're off to play in the SNOW!!!
I'll have to tell you tonight all about Tatum, where we're staying. It's a spot on most maps, but like the Pleiades, you'll miss it if you don't know where to look (or if you look right at it). Such a neat little town.
Kiss those babies and snuggle them tight!

Thanks for taking me along on your Christmas vacation Dy! It sounds like a blast! :-)
Patty in WA here--you mean to kiss them AND snuggle them? This could take a lot of time out of my day...sigh. But if you INSIST!!!!
Miss you. Have fun in NM. I'm from CO; we were there last Christmas.
Have fun in the snow, Dy! Is it typical to get snow where you are? Or is it a unique occurrence?
Kim, showing her horrible ignorance of the climate of various locations.
Guess what?! This morning we woke up to glorious snow!!! Yipee! Not much accumulation yet, but it's comin' down!
Have fun in your snow!
Love,
Marita
