i dreamt of a white christmas. and what do you know, i got one. yes please. there is something so sweet about a snowy christmas. it is the best. to wake up in the morning and see a blanket of white. it definitely elicits feelings of holiday joy and cheer. add in some cinnimon rolls and orange juice in there, and you got yourself a shipley christmas. we generally lounge around the house in our pj’s and watch christmas movies and play with our toys. one year we played with our new ping pong table in the den for hours and hours. so many wonderful mem-ories.

lydia and i went out and romped around in the new snow. she is adorable. and was almost fully submerged in the sea of white. haha. and we have watched our share of cheezy, yet addictive lifetime movies. what a delightful day.

i hope that you are enjoying your christmas moments with your family and friends. and that you find yourselves mindful of the blessing of Christ’s birth. we have much to be grateful for this holiday season and i encourage you to remember what matters most in life. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
